I started with a hardtop, added the Bestop Sunrider, felt bad my kids couldn't also enjoy the open top so I got the factory softtop.
So now most of the year I have the softtop on, when I go to the snow or rainy season I switch to the hardtop plus Sunrider.
I use Moto Cinch to secure my bikes so I don't need straps. Also helps by not putting a load on your fork seals.
Whats also nice is I'm able to get two bikes in with the tonneau still attached, so when I unload the bikes I can still lock up the bed for storage of my ramps.
I use a Radflo Hydra-Jac.
What's nice about this jack is that it's re-buildable unlike the ARB version.

I also carry a bottle jack in place of the stock scissor jack.

The bracket that's welded to the bottom of the tank can be mounted to some studs underneath the brake booster.
Your at the mercy of supply and demand at this point.
Right now because of the shortage of used cars and new your getting a great deal on selling your JL, but at the same time dealers aren't budging on price. So it's a break even almost.
20mins?
You don't need to remove the frame to remove the soft top.
Just take out the 4 bolts that attach the soft top to the frame, then no more soft top (man bun)
5mins max.
Honestly it's a hard pull, remember to keep your arm as far up as you can. But it will come over and no adverse effects.
I can try and make a video of it tomorrow.
This story came across to me through a Facebook Rubicon Trail group I'm a part of.
Yes, extremely sad.
Everyone out wheeling needs to remember that as much fun as it can be, follow safety procedures.
Remind everyone in the vehicle to wear seat belts, use grab handles to keep limbs in vehicle...
This reason here is why I decided to wire only to an Aux switch instead of both Aux switch and reverse signal. Don't want to blind people if I don't need the extra light.
