Nowhere to store your Jeep hardtop once it’s off
RollnJack gives Michigan Jeep owners a one-person way to remove, store, and reinstall the hardtop without drilling into the garage.
You wrestled the hardtop off in late May and now it’s leaning against the garage wall, taking up space you need for the mower and the kids’ bikes. Every time you bump it with a trash can or a door edge, you worry about a crack or a deep scratch. In Michigan, that top sits in the garage all summer, right through project season, and you need a better way to keep it safe.
The hardtop comes off your Jeep and suddenly half the garage is gone. You lean it against drywall, prop it on moving blankets and totes, or stack it in the corner where it catches every bump from a bike handlebar or a lawn chair. That is how paint gets gouged and seals get pinched. The top is heavy and awkward, and without a proper cradle it sits on its weakest edges. Over a Michigan summer, from June through October, a leaned hardtop can warp just enough to make the fall reinstall a fight.
There is no single price for fixing this because the fix is a piece of equipment, not a service call. A RollnJack lift costs less than a body shop repair on a cracked hardtop. It ships free to your door in Michigan. You unbox it, assemble the steel frame, and roll it under the top. The arms adjust to the height of your Jeep, so you can lift the top off solo, lower it, and store it right on the same cart. No ceiling hoist to drill, no second person to coordinate, and no straps that dig into the fiberglass.
This week, measure the height of your Jeep’s hardtop from the ground. The RollnJack adjusts from about 65 to 86 inches and fits 1997 to present Wranglers and the Gladiator. If your top is already off and leaning, get it onto a flat, padded surface until the lift arrives. Do not store it on its corners or resting on the rear glass. Order the RollnJack now, before the fall rush when every Michigan owner is scrambling to get the top back on before the first hard freeze.
When the lift is assembled and the top is cradled on it, you roll the whole thing against the wall or into a corner. The hardtop sits up off the concrete, protected, and you can move it with one hand. In October, you roll it back to the Jeep, raise the arms, and bolt it on in minutes. No helper, no waiting, and no cold morning drive with a soft top flapping.
