Hey guys I've seen a couple of different posts for how you guys stored them or lifted them in your garage. I was thinking if we could post the ideas and pictures in one thread it would help me and others out. I really need to find a solution to get mine out of the way!

I recall seeing someone with an 818 specific solution so hopefully they post, but if you want to get the wheels turning, the jeep guys have been coming up with solutions to this for years.

(That's just the first one I found, certainly not the best)

My kit just showed up today. I'll take photos when I get the top out of the way. I'll more than likely strap it to the ceiling.

I built a long triangle out of 2x4's, hung the rear, then carefully attached the parts and then lifted the point up and hung it too. Takes up very little space.

I used the pull style straps to lift the front of the top. Once you've got the rear height set initially, you can just lift it and connect the two hooks. Those foam pieces are from the b-pillar where the hood rested against the top during shipping.
