Default Considering selling my 2013 two door hard top!

I've been considering selling my freedom top from my 2013 2door sport.
I live in a town home with no garage and have no where to store the damn thing, I often find myself being pissed cause its 80+ degrees out and I'm driving around with my top on. If any of you guys who live here in Texas can give me your opinions on weather this is a good plan or not I'd appreciate it!

Keep the top, find a new place to live. Obviously, the top is not your problem so why would you sell that? Instead fix the problem at the source and that's by figuring out how you're gonna move somewhere else where you have your own garage, where you can put up a hard top hoist, have storage for the top and have the best of both worlds. You live in TX, it's not like housing space is a big concern as it is living in a city like NY.

Not sure if it would make much sense for you guys in Texas, but up here in ole virginiee we would get a storage unit and store the hard top in the summer (and the motorcycles in the winter) ...could be an option? Either way I'm sure you will end up buying a soft top I sorts, an will most likely end up selling the hard top as they are a pita to put on/take off

Surely you can just drop your hardtop at a friends house for storage. I have 3 in my down stairs garage now.

I'm not selling my town home, we just bought it! I gave up my garage I had in my old house for my lake front town home! I do have a storage unit so I guess I'll organize it and make a hoist!
Just curious if anyone finds having a hard top to be worthless?

Still miss my garage!

I love having the hardtop for the November to March months, but that's mainly because of weather. If anything, sell the hardtop and get a soft top and then you don't have to worry about it.

If you said you have a storage unit, I would definitely look into that. I love having both tops, but I don't live in Texas. St. Louis weather sucks.

I guess is just depends on if you think you can live with only a soft top. I love running the soft top, but I wouldn't be without my hard top.

Soft top only is the way to go. 2 jeeps and 4 years of soft top only. I just keep the interior free of junk and stuff to steal. It takes less than 2 minutes to be top down. Hard top just seems like too much work.
