My sub-$20 hard top storage solution
Not the most beautiful thing but I declare it a success. Picked up a couple of tie down straps and some screw eyes (all of this was shockingly cheap at Home Depot). Sorry for the crappy phone cam pics -- figured they get the idea across okay.
I dropped the little finger screws from the front freedom top panels through the rearmost holes in the top to keep it from sliding off the strap, secured the liftgate with a small piece of tape (it basically stays put anyway, but was worried about it flying up).

Great job! I did something a lot like that for my TJ and will definitely do it on the other side of the garage for my JK too. The only thing I would recommend you doing differently is adding a 2x4 for the rear of the hard top to sit on. Without it, your top will run the risk of pulling apart. After some time, this will make it difficult to install on your Jeep...

why-oh-why did they make those things white inside?
doesnt that make it a bear seeing out the rear at night with all that white reflecting light inside the cabin?:confused:
I like the storage idea.
