Default What are you using to hang your doors/soft top?

I just moved into a new place. It has a single car/jeep garage. It's very similar to my last garage. This new garage is going to be done right this time. I want new hooks/hangers for my doors and I also want a hook/hanger set up for my soft top.

Wondering what everyone else is using to hang up their doors and soft top. Like I said, I want to do this one right and if you don't mind, I'd like to steal some ideas.

Post pics if you got em...!

Thanks!

Purchased these hooks at Lowe's for about $8 a piece. Each hook holds 50lbs. I put my rear doors on them and my front doors on the ground, but only because I don't have any more free horizontal space. The hooks do hold the fronts though.

Using a Rubbermaid garage organizer system from Lowes. I used a 1" foam pipe insulation over a 1/2" piece to protect the window seals

I built my own stand....the stand can be placed on the floor/ground or on a 4 wheel appliance dolly ($20)
My stand is collapsable for storage OR carrying in the jeep or motorcoach...

I take the stand with me (when flat towing the jeep) - and then can take the doors off, while camping etc.

Honestly, when I read the original thread question, I thought this was going to be lame. People are going to post pictures of their made for Jeep over priced door dolly/hangers. I was happy to see these. Great ideas, I may copy a wall hanger plus the collapsible one. Awesome thread.

THIS is slick!! I haven't ever thought about something like this. I may use this idea.. I built wall hangers out of an old deer stand we found in the woods at our farm. Just used big washers and drilled them into the wall studs and hang both doors on them. No problems yet!

Oh snap bushpilot, I just noticed that it was you who posted this. I need to take a look at your design the next time I'm over there. I just got half doors in...and now need to do something about the full doors. Maybe we'll have to throw that project on with the lift...haha.
