same here my buddy has done several including his house it's going to take me a lot of practice to put it back on after I take it up in the air because I have to back up just right to make it fall in the hole when I release the straps. It will just take practice. Hack my time I do my top my freedom panels and four doors on a JL it will probably take me an hour LOL at least. Texas weather is crazy it will show 5 days of no rain the next day it will rain it's a lot of work to do all of it for 1 or 2 days. I want to be able to at least get five days out of it taking it all off and putting it all back on LOL. always remember because we almost forgot today when pulling out make sure the bag glasses up or the spare tire will break glass. I'm not even going to say LOL cuz if not funny. we started to pull out today and felt it bumping and stopped and looked at it was the rear glass I said oh my gosh that was so close I couldn't imagine breaking that glass
I know what you mean. Before I drove off, I tried to look at everything and the rear glass was closed. Opened it up, drove out slowly and it was good.

As far as putting the top back on, I heard a tip, roll up a towel so that if it drops too fast, it won't cause any damage. Good luck!

Do you have to put yours all the way up against the top of the ceiling ?

Hello! Was it hard to install the coat hangers on the JL? I wasn’t sure they would fit because all of the ones I see online are for JK and the roll bars are smaller on JK vs JL for them to wrap around.
Not sure I know what you're talking about if your talking to me what are you calling coat hangers?

Plastic trim off and top back up.

Drove it a bit and seems to work fine. Don't think there will be any issues with paint or roll bar contact. With the door surrounds in, the top tucked into a channel. So with them off, if it rains the water may drip down inside the tub. But it works fine for coverage from the sun and maybe an emergency rain cover.

Thanks for this. Looking at your pic, it looks like you took ALL the trim off, including the one by the rear seats/trunk. No issues with the top mechanism sliding up and over eh?

Oh and do you have a pic of the top down with that setup?

I didn't take off the rear trim, probably just the angle. Here it is topless. Itching to get some bigger tires.

Installed the Mopar removable roof racks along with a couple sets of Yakima Jaylow kayak carriers. I know with these Mopar roof racks Mopar states they don't recommend carrying heavy kayaks or canoes(more of a legal requirement in my opinion).. but that being said I've carried dual kayaks with this set up at roughly 45 lbs each.. from Seattle to Portland many times at speeds of 80mph+ and it holds great! No issues whatsoever if anyone was curious. Also want to add that the Yakima SKS lock cores are a perfect fit for these Mopar racks.. so a little peace of mind when it comes to security.

Are those a pair of tranx back there? What you catching over there in Texas?

Nope. Those are Citicas.
I had to stop buying reels a few years ago. Got way too many.
Still love my Calcuttas best. Should never have left them.
Haven’t fished much yet this year.
We got 28” of rain in May.
Pretty much just rained all month.
Heading up to Colorado to fool with Tenkara for a couple of months this summer.

Here are photos with the lights off - Then on. Then with brake lights. Then with bake lights and reverse. Then side view so you can see the side marker. Camera makes them look orange, they are not in reality. They are deep red. This is also showing the third light
