Most guys will just mount it on a roof rack.

The hardtop will certainly hold it but over time, it's going to fatigue and crack. Not a good idea unless, like was said, it's attached to a rack.

Two negatives to roof mount.

Heavy ass wheel and tire would be a bitch to get down or put up.

Raises CG of Jeep.

adds 12" to the height as well if you have a low garage door you might not like it.
