my jeep had 35's and it fit under it just fine. it cost only around $100... i would spend that on one again in a heartbeat!!!
I used this same one and it works great. Took me about 2 hours to install it myself with a drill and basic hand tools. bought it on amazon for less than $100 shipped. I love sticking it to the over priced jeep product vendors.

Call me crazy but in this instance I would prefer to keep it simple. Putting carpet down in the area where I put the hardtop this weekend. It doesn't take up any space and its easy to manuver.

Too easy. The plexi-cardboard is padded. The carpet I used for my 07' Sahara hardtop is even better padded. Never got a scratch on it.

It's your top, warp it if you want to, have it slide down the wall and get scratched to hell if you want to.

Her was a simple solution I used. Can lift and lower it myself using the strap pulls/latches under the hood.
