Jeep Wrangler Hard Top Removal and Storage Made Quick and Easy with a DIY Budget Ceiling Hanger

There are few things that are more liberating and exhilarating than driving a Jeep Wrangler topless. However, if you've got a hard top, it can be a bit of a challenge to remove, especially if you don't have anyone around to lend a helping hand. Of course, this is to say nothing about where to put it once you do get it off. Fortunately, I've got a solution for you and in this video, you'll get to see just how quick and easy it is to remove a 2-door or 4-door hard top, by yourself and have it stored up and out of the way by hanging it from the ceiling of your garage.

Glad to see I am not the only one who talks to my jeep. :)

[@wayalife]

LOL - too funny 😋

[@nachovalenti]

Me too!😂

[@johnstup4479]

Same here. 😆

[@TB-jj9tu]

Every time I get home from a dirt road ride to the northern edge of nowhere I always say thank you to my Jeep for getting me back home.

[@infokiz]

Every time I come up to an obstacle, and sometimes when we’re just driving down the road.

[@powdersolvent]

Thank you for these 2 door sport videos! Refreshing to see these when 99% of other Jeep vids are 4 door/Rubicons. 👍🏻

[@wayalife]

Awesome, glad you're liking them 😎

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

I agree! im tired of seing 4 door jeep on video all the times!

[@cspnboy14]

You sir, are a genius! This is brilliant and I'm going to rig this up this weekend to get the top off of my 4-door. Thank you for this video!

[@wayalife]

Truly humbled that you would say as much and glad our video will be a help to you 😎

[@colinkulukhon-lincoln959]

The shot where you got the pup to look at you and bring the ears up was beautiful imo

[@wayalife]

LOL - glad you liked it :)

[@motor1001]

Prolly the best edits in the game and your unboxing edits are the gold standard! 🔥😎

[@wayalife]

Thank you. We're flattered that you would say as much 😊

[@jaybailey5150]

I need those new Mopar half doors so badly! Eddie and Cindy, you guys totally get it! The Wrangler 2 door’s 20% market share be darned! Lol So thankful to see the 2 door love!! The Jeep Wrangler 2 door is the spiritual successor to the CJ, which was the legendary vehicle that made so many of us fall in love with Jeeps. And it’s exactly why I bought a 2 door JL Rubicon in 7/2018. This is such a wonderful new series to watch. Thank you again!

[@wayalife]

Happy to hear you’re liking our new series 😎

[@bongtiamson4368]

WoW this how-to video is spot on... I recently got my very first Jeep (it's a 4xe and lovin' the jeep vibes). Honestly saying I'm not a handy man but with your awesome video tutorial, It gives me confidence & believe that I can do this by myself. Planning to visit Lowe's this weekend... keep making videos, you are helping a lot of people like me.

[@G_RAThbun]

I just purchased my first Jeep 4 days ago I've already picked up plenty of tips off your Channel. My garage has a 10ft ceiling so I think I'm going to put an electric lift in it using a winch so I can get it all the way up to the top and out of my way. Thank you for your video

[@fasterthanyou7605]

Once again incredible videography and as always your videos portray deeply the name of your channel and what it means for your Jeep and you to have a “way of life”. If you know you know 🤷🏻‍♂️ thank you so much for the content and we hope to see you on a trail one day! It would be an honor!

[@wayalife]

Thank you. We really do appreciate it and hope to see you there someday 😎

[@RobMR3]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that has full conversations with my cars.

[@wayalife]

🤣 Too funny

[@michaelmorr4403]

I cant wait to see you two do some offroad trips with it just to see how it does. Even if the trails are moderate. You are a very blessed man! My Patriot self indentifes as a Wangler lol

[@wayalife]

Awesome! Hope to get some videos up soon.

[@stephenhardison3595]

Looks so cool with the half doors and no top!

[@wayalife]

Thanks! It’s how we like it too 😎

[@bobbyrussell4802]

Just finished installing this set up for my 2 door JL rubicon. Worked like a charm. Love the videos and your video on keeping it “stock” talk has encouraged me to run this Jeep stock for a couple years before modifying it. 🤓

[@wayalife]

That is awesome! Glad to hear it :)

[@clintonwilkie8142]

That’s funny. I talk to my Jeep all the time. Even wink at it sometimes and tell her stories of the places we will go. I’m on number 8. Maybe I’m crazy. Love them jeeps!!

[@markclaypole1573]

A set of 33” ATs on those stock steelies would set it off perfectly! Love the simplicity.

[@wayalife]

That’s what we’re hoping for 😎

[@earlsmithson4749]

Mr.Oh, for all the free information you supply about Jeep’s, Fiat should sponsor your channel handsomely.

[@wayalife]

Truly flattered you would say as much. Thank you 😊

[@jbroadventures5656]

I usually reverse straps so you can just pull straps down to take up slack and use other hand to take the weight on one corner at a time goes much faster and works with rooftop tents too

[@DUNEATV]

I tried this and if you reverse the straps in my opinion it makes it harder to ease the top back down. Because the release is up high close to the ceiling and you need a ladder to go around. If you have it the other way you can actually reach it by hand.

[@Baffi_]

This is the first thing I thought of when I drove my new JL home. Great vid bud, love this

[@wayalife]

Glad you liked it and congratulations to you on your new Jeep.

[@twodutch1969]

Can’t wait to see what you have in store for this one! Looking forward to future upgrades and modifications. 😎👍🏻

[@wayalife]

Awesome 😎

[@nachovalenti]

Great video Eddie and I love the new member of the family. Many thanks for sharing to you and Cindy.

[@wayalife]

Thanks and glad to hear you’re liking our new Jeep 😎

[@wayalife]

Thank you. So glad you like what you're seeing 😎

[@randylong8156]

Such a cool toy all for about the same price as a side by side can't wait to see you out on the trails with it.

[@markclaypole1573]

I’ve been saying this for the last few years. Not so much with the JL, but up here in Canada when you could get a 2 door JK for under 30k, I always wondered why people bought side by sides..

[@wayalife]

And you can drive it everywhere and all year long 😎

[@GoldenK9Campers]

So cute at the end. Your pup is adorable too !!

[@wayalife]

Glad you enjoyed the video and our little Ripley :)

[@fillie37d.71]

Looks good with the top off and the half doors ! 2 door is the way to go ! And yessssss !! I’m lovin this channel, I want to see what it’s going to look like when your done. I think it looks great now, just get in and drive !

Very nice, guys! I’d love to take my top off but I have a roof rack on it for camping gear. Although, I plan to build an off-road trailer to haul it all instead. When that’s done, rack is being sold and top is coming off!

I've gone as far as taking off the freedom panels and replacing the front doors on my 2015 JKU with tube doors. Maybe one day I'll get around to taking off the top. Your videos are the best!

Great video! I followed your instructions to a tee (the front straps are done differently as my YJ roof is different) right down to the zip ties, and it worked perfectly. Wish I could add a photo to show it. Thank you so much for posting this video. Much appreciated!

[@wayalife]

Awesome! Glad to hear our video was able to help you out.

@@dougharlow6037 What kind of work are you needing to have done?

[@dougharlow6037]

@@wayalife I have a very bad vibration/chatter, like I had no motor mounts, in 1st and reverse gear, only when engaging the clutch, after engagement it’s fine, and only happens once in a while. When It’s not happening it drives like new, and you can’t make it happen buy abusing clutch engagement. I’ve had it to several 4x4 shops, transmission/clutch shops, S & H 4 Wheel Drive Service Center in Sac., Drive Line Services in Sac shop, etc. I first thought it was the rear differential, so I installed a Eaton Detroit Truetrac Differential, new axle bearings, diff. bearing, seals. The only thing I didn’t do was the pinion bearing, had to move the Jeep to a different location. It’s hard for me to explain the details when typing.
