Just wanted to say thanks for posting this. Easy build and straight forward instructions.



I just saved a ton of money on may car insur.... no wait... on my hard top cart!

Very Nice! This is exactly what I was looking for.

This is great!! Thanks for the write up I will be doing this soon (waiting for a soft top part).

Awesome! I ran out to Lowe's and got the stuff. A few hours later it was all done and working great!



Thanks for posting this. I am a little worried about warping the top, so I plan on connecting all 6 of the holes at the base of the hard top. I did the first one and the top was splayed out about 1/4". I think it may have been that way when laying flat, though.

Thanks again!

Thanks for this thread... I made one of these as well since there is very little room in my Garage at the moment. the only thing I did that was different was carpet the entire thing since I had so much left over. I'm glad that I did, as soon as I took it off and rested it down it slid a lil' bit forward and clunked down into the space before the blocks in the back. no damage other than one of the plastic hinge covers cracked... which I will replace when going to put it back on in a month or two.

I made my cart following the instructions here. I wanted to add padding that was durable and didn't think the blue foam that ishutzi used would be durable enough for me. After going a lot of searching I decided to go with an outdoor carpet I got at WalMart.

I thought the carpet would be wide enough but after looking at the pictures here I think I need to add more carpeting to the edges.

I plan on building another cart like this since my wife and I both own JKs, but I think I will make mine with larger casters that can roll on grass so I can wheel the top into the back yard since my garage is almost always too full. I'm also thinking about building a cart for the doors too.

carpet the sides too, the hardtop scratches SO easily it's not even funny and the more protection the better.

The problem with carpet is it seems like you can either buy a really large piece to cover ten carts or one small piece to do what I just did with mine, which was not enough.

I'd like to find some kind of durable cover that could protect the top.

I "resurrect" this topic mostly to thank Riptyd ... mod is awesome! Simple yet effective.

Using yours as 'inspiration' I made my own, done with some wood, many (many) screws, 4 little wheels an some carpet ...
It came slightly different as I could not find the same size for the materials, but it is ok.
When not in use I lay it against the wall, so is also not taking up space
