JK Write-UpsBulletin board forum regarding useful installation write-ups, budget fixes and homemade solutions for the Jeep JK Wrangler (Rubicon, Sahara, Unlimited and X).
THANK YOU TO ALL who has posted on this thread!!! This information has become extremely valuable to me! I am a newbie to the JK scene, but I have realized the price of this contraption is far to expensive. I have seen other designs as well! Again, thank you very much to ALL!!!
Please tell us the other solutions!! We ALL want to keep our money in the pocket
Here is my version - no plans, just kind of made it up as I went along, but "form follows function". Mine used a bit more lumber I guess...not too much, though. The freedom panel holder is carpeted underneath and just sits inside. Please ignore the very messy garage - that is my Coronavirus quarantine project.
Surprised I never put mine in here. I went the other way, totally over built, but I use it as part of my garage bench/shelving. It will roll out for easier loading and unloading, but I always just carry the hardtop to and from the Jeep.
Great thread! I’m new to the JK world and I appreciate all that have contributed here!
I’m in mid-build and worried about my casters. I picked up 2 inch casters at Lowe’s but I am concerned they are not tall enough. I think the body of the caster may be shorter than what others have used. What ground clearance do you all have?

I used the 3" Kobalt casters from Lowe's for like $20 when I built my cart and they worked great, plenty of clearance. The were in the section with garage cabinets. I tried to find another set at Lowe's recently for another project and they were not in stock, From what I can tell they no longer carry those casters. They still sell other (more expensive) brands of casters. So I went to ebay and found the same Kobalt 3" casters for the same price, including shipping. They were brand new in an unopened box. So I ordered those and again they worked great. The seller on ebay had other sets for sell so you may get lucky if you want to switch casters.
