Soft top storage for winter

[JayDee]

With my JKU, I just put my soft top in the original box since I had the Bestop Trektop NX, therefore no frame. This top is a different beast.

This winter, I will probably just put my JT soft top in the massive cardboard box, but I'm looking for ideas for hanging it in my shed.

I saw the shelving and hard top lift ideas, both of which won't work for me... not enough room.

I've been searching online for ideas and found some wall hanging hardware for the JLs, JKs and before, but nothing for the Gladiator.

Yeah... As I said, I don't have room for shelves of a hoist.

Sounds like the bag is your best bet.

 

[JayDee]

Which bag?

Something like this would be great. https://www.justjeeps.com/quadratec-soft-top-storage-hanger-optional-soft-upper-door-brackets-for-97-06-wrangler-tj-91110-900.html

Leave it on the truck?

I'm guessing you'll be installing a hard-top in it's place... how do you store that?

 

[JayDee]

Yes, I will be putting my hard top back on. It’s on a stand outside covered by a cab cover. I wouldn’t be able to do that with the soft top for winter.

I did a mount for my Hardtop like @bobh6200 posted, in my shed. Soft top fits in the same space with the fabric end up and the bottom supported.

I would post my own photo but it has since been buried with boat parts and gear untill spring.

I mean, if you just want to hang it I don't see why you couldn't use two appropriately sized and spaced garage hooks to hold it by the alignment pins next to the screw holes.

Sounds too easy

I mean, the soft top isn't very complicated as it is.

I hang mine on garage hooks over the winter/ Bonus is I can put the door surrounds and rear channel above it too

 

[JayDee]

Thanks for the ideas. This is my first time taking it off so i couldn’t visualize what it looked like off the Jeep. Off to Home Depot for garage hooks.

You didn't take it off all summer?

I just removed mine to put hard top on for winter. I just collapse it and shrink wrap the all the fabric area and then place the plastic surrounds on it and wrap it some more so everything is all together and lean it against a wall. I'll try to get picture tonight.
