This is probably a pretty specific audience that will appreciate this build, but it’s super simple and cost me $34. It’s a way to stack 2 hard tops… in my case a 2-door JL on the bottom and a JT on top.
(2) 2x4x8’
(2) 2x8x8’
(8) right angle brackets.
(32) 1 1/4” screws
(8) 2 1/2” screws
(1) chock block
Cut your 2x4s into 32” pieces, to yield 6 Pieces.
Cut 2x8s to 70”, to yield 2 pieces.
Create the frame by attaching a 32” piece of 2x4 to each side of a 2x8 piece, terminating at the center of the 2x8. Use right angle brackets and 1 1/4” screws to secure. Repeat on the other side to create a rectangle that is 39” wide by 70” long.
Attach the remaining (4) 32” pieces as legs with right angle brackets and 1 1/4” screws on the outside edge of each of the 4 corners.
Use (1) 2 1/2” screw each on the top and bottom of each corner to secure the connected pieces.
Then use a chock-block to hold up the middle of the JT top, and you are all set.
