[QUOTE="Flyer58, post: 441461, member: 18629"] My YJ only came with the half doors and no top when I bought it and I found some good deals on both a hard top and two full doors, thinking it may be better in winter or rainy days. I've since found that removing and installing the hard top is not a one person job unless you have an overhead winch or engine hoist that reaches that high safely. Storage is also an issue. I may end up suspending it from the ceiling but that will require me to strengthen the overhead premade roof trusses first to handle the weight. As an alternative, I built this roller dolly from 2x4's, castors, and carpet. It works well but still takes up limited floor space. Simply slide it in place, strap it to the top and tilt it upright.
