I was just curious how everyone else stores the two top panels in their vehicle when driving around and how they store the whole top in their garage just looking for ideas

 

I use a Top Cap EZ Lift and absolutely love it. It's a true one man operation and the top is on/off in minutes. The freedom panels store right on top of the lift which makes it easy. Now for the bad news......I recently went looking for the link for a friend and struck out. The old link to the website is dead, and Google searches turn up fruitless. It used to be an old man that basically built these made-to-order. I'm wondering if he passed away and nobody else picked up the ball to run with it. He had such a great design.

For the record, it looked like this -

Cept my 4-dr version has an additional bar across the back that allows the freedom panels to rest flat on either side of the center bar.

 

I have been using a Racor lift that works great. Currently I am storing my soft top on it for the winter, I think I paid about $130 for the lift on amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Racor-PHL-1R-HeavyLift-4-Foot-Cable-Lifted/dp/B0009I8AO6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1483717183&sr=8-1&keywords=racor+storage+rack

 

In the Jeep: Put an old towel between the panels and fasten them onto the back of the rear seat with a couple bungee cords. Total price: $3-$6

In the garage: Set the top on some cardboard and lean the panels against the wall. Total price: $0
