I took a 4x8 sheet of plywood and made a shelf or table, now i just back up to it and slide the top off. it was easier than making the hoist plus i already had a ATV taking up the space now the ATV is under that.

Got my brackets, going out to move mirrors now and take off those doors! Gonna try it with doors off and hard top on and see how I like. Last season top was off but doors were on. Hell maybe we'll just loose it all!

Heck. Just take it all off and be done with it. It's just an exhilerating experience


What brackets did you go with?

Just got the rugged ridge ones from custom offroad, I am impatient and that's all they had that I could put on today. Easy to install, but getting the factory mirror off its bracket was a pain!

Doors off is awesome, but this wind can bite me!

Amen to that. Drove up to Stillwater yesterday so TORN could help me install some RK wedges on my rear coils and I ended up putting the doors on. Gas mileage going up was around 223 MPG and on the return it was 2.56 MPG. LOL.

That'd still be a combined average of 112.78mpg? Not bad Mark... Looks like that Teraflex lift sure boosted more than just the height of you JK

Yeah, it boosted my penchant for hyperbole, too. LOL.
