Hardtop Dilema
So I've had my 2012 two door with hardtop for about a month now (not my first JK ), and I am sad to say I have yet to have the whole top off (freedom panels, but not the back). The issue is my girlfriend and I live in an apartment building on 3rd floor.
I want to take it off in the worst way, but don't know what the hell to do with it . I thought about just leaving it behind the building or something in the grass, but I'm worried about either A: Kids mistaking it for some kind of jungle gym or B: it majically disappearing not to greatest area..
My question is, would it be impractical for my girlfriend and I to carry it up 2 sets of stairs if i'd want it off for a day or two? I'm talking weight wise (I'm assuming if its turned sideways theres plenty of room up stairs), or is this a job suited for 2+ males (no offense ladies).
Thanks

The back by itself is about 84 pounds. I would be worried about busting out the glass on a handrail not to mention the maneuvering that would need to be done to get it up 2 flights of stairs! :gap:
Find a buddy with a garage, buy him some beer and leave it there for a couple days.

does your apartment building have any storage buildings you can rent??
if not you could always rent a storage building close by. ( just for the summer months)
I would NOT just leave it out behind the building.
would you just leave 2 grand laying out there???

Hmmm... Well maneuvering isn't really a problem. It's a wide hallway and plenty of room to turn. I just don't know about the weight since its bulky.
Has ANYONE ever carried a hardtop up stairs?

Yeah def not keeping it outside, and thought about storage, they are in the process of adding it.. Just sucks to pay $30 a month for something I might only use a few times. And it would have to rest vertically like where the panels meet.
Maybe I'll ask if I can keep it in their office :p

They are not terribly heavy...just awkward!
The rear glass will want to keep opening up on you too.
It's do-able but if you have another option I would explore that first.
