Chicago guy. It’s about time I see someone from my city. The color of the Jeep looks great with the built in lift in the garage. I still want my own Jeep.
I really appreciated your video, as a single woman I don't have help available to remove the top. This setup will give me the freedom to take my Jeep top off and put it back on by myself! I have ordered all the parts just waiting for Amazon to come and install it. FYI Amazon will install the setup for $131.00
When I first saw that this video was 23 minutes I thought I’d just fast forward through most of it. Ended up watching every minute. Thanks for the video. Sweet garage!
The best video out there to help you remove your doors and top, I’m not a handy guy but this video was absolutely awesome and extremely helpful. I got my Rubicon stripped in less than an hour for the first time. Thank you!
I was honestly not interested in owning a Jeep , but after this video you have definitely made me a believer. I’ll definitely be saving towards one in the future.
Ive got a sting grey soft top. Once I took my doors off the first time the only bolt I ever put back in was the single door hinge bolt on the inside of the door. The outside ones stay in the back and I never plugged the doors back in. Make going nakes with the jeep take less than 5 minutes. Love the setup and thought about getting mojito but my wife vetoed that idea.
I own a 93 YJ, it takes me 10 minutes to get my top and doors off. Then I put the 4WD to work in some dirt, mud, rocks etc... I can bump into stuff without stressing about my paint. And it's paid for. But you sure do have some nice stuff.
"Worth it if you can drive it for the whole weekend." I bought my first Jeep when I was 18. I would go through all of that for a 20 minute break in the rain to cruise the strip, come back put it all back on, and maybe do it again later. I haven't had a Jeep for 20 years. Going to buy a new one this fall. I'm sure 40 year old me will only go through all that for a weekend also.
I have never owned a Wrangler, I am looking at different videos and different models and so far I have loved this video very much. I've been thinking of buying the 4-door rubicon!
Getting ready to pull the trigger on a Rubicon 4 Door. Only difference I’ll have is it’s going to be the soft top version. Hope the soft top comes off just as easy! One of the best DIY videos I e seem. Awesome job. Beautiful Jeep.
I loved loved loved your video. The devil is truly in the details. I so appreciate you slowing down the video as needed and speeding up when appropriate. I have a Jeep, am on the market for a house...will definately get a harness contraption to help me remove my tops. I live in Sunny Florida, will probably do a lot of topless days. Thank you.
The JKU has 2 torx bolts on the windshield frame. Attach the (roof off) mirror brackets there. The mirrors come with thumb screws. I threw those away and just got bolts, you can get them tighter. Then when positioned correctly, drill a small hole thru the bracket down thru the aluminum block that grips the mirror arm tube. All the way thru. Then you drop a long cotter pin in this hole, that keeps the mirror from pivoting back as the wind pushes on them.
I had a similar lift in my old house which had 12' garage ceilings. I cut the rod at the hook end, then got some 1/2" round metal stock and a bushing to slide the pieces together. I used JB Weld to glue it up. The reason I cut it at the hook end is I thought if it wasn't perfectly straight, it would be less likely to wobble near the gearbox rather than the drill end. Not sure if that's right, but it seemed logical. Anyway, after several years of use, it worked perfectly! Thank you for the video, excellent information!
Everything looks great ! The only problems is that the Jeep is missing the front side mirrors: they should have been attached to the body of the vehicles not the doors !'
Thanks for the great video and showing every step, I'm planning on picking up a 2020 Rubicon and this made me a lot more confident about removing the roof and doors. Killer garage setup btw.
Sweeeeet setup! I bought my 2018 Rubicon last Black Friday and haven’t gotten to take her topless yet! But the plans are to do it very soon! Love your Jeep!
Great video, love it and live how you explained everything and showed how to remove the top and doors. A lot of Jeep owners don’t do what you did and leaves a lot of public wondering if they should buy a Jeep or not. The only thing I would change in your videos is buying better quality tools such as Dewalt, Milwaukee or Matco when it comes to Electric Hand tools and cordless. The motors are built better, yes they are more expensive but they last and you have a damn Porsche sitting in your driveway, LOL. With that said, why not make your cab lift fully motorized and wired into the wall by your Lift? You are blessed to have such a nice big and tall shop with car lift.... wanna be a mechanic and have a cool shop, but better quality tools that will last and not break like mechanics do. Promoting crap tools makes life difficult for the fully commissioned auto technician because other good companies start cutting corners. One of the reasons why I don’t support China by buying crap from Walmart. And don’t think I’m below anyone just because I turn wrenches. I promise you I make nearly $200,000 consistently per year for the last 7 years. I’m more a realistic person, don’t need anymore money than that. I hate shopping therefor I research what parts and what tools are the best so I never have issues. Something to think about. This message is not directed towards any form of negativity, more like positive direct criticism. Great video, great home and shop, just curdles my skin and blood when I see people supporting crap Chinese and Taiwanese brands instead of Snap-On, Craftsman USA, Matco, Mac Tools, Dewalt USA, Milwaukee
I'm in the market for a new vehicle. Ive fallen in LOVE with these open wranglers. Imagine my confusion when I visited the used car sites and only saw closed vehicles. For some reason I thought the open wranglers came that way *red face* I guess this dream will go on hold until I have a GARAGE. Argh.
You should have go e for bonus points a d surprised everyone with putting the windshield down with spare time still! Thanks for the video. The Mojito with that Rubicon Red and tungsten touches is one of the best paint combinations.
I'd keep the top and doors off all year round. Rainy days, soft top and soft canvas snap on doors with clear plastic windows. The whole garage is geared towards the Jeep. Next? I'd raise it!
Colder climates I understand the hard top, but for me on the coast.....I’m soft top all year. Simple get naked process. Doors off, unlatch too and fold back. 10 minutes max.
JL has drains in the floor.. get rained on = no problem. they are designed to get wet. just dont drive them like boat. i do believe the drain holes are plugged though, have to cut a piece of carpet out which is mostly cut out for you and then remove the rubber plugs, the plugs fit perfectly in the mopar rubber floor mats if you have them.
Whoooa!!! Wow it looks easy but im sure it wont be easy for me since im very short. But i only have one nega comment for you. Please dont drink that energy drink if you want to see your kids grow. Please. If you get tired, rest. Thats all. But all in all you did an excellent job and youre very organized. Thank you for making this video.
I'm definitely getting that hoist thing now after watching this video. This will save a lot of time and cussing between me and the Mrs. because of smashed fingers
Nice. Planning on getting a jeep and this was my number 1 question. That didn't seem difficult at all, and great idea adding the pully mount to remove the top.
Great video! I just came across your channel and I’m seriously looking to buy a Rubicon and it will be my first Jeep. Always wanted one but never pulled the trigger on getting one. Even though I’ve hand a Range Rover, a couple of Audis, Saabs and a few other cool rides. I’m In chicago so I’ll probably be reaching out to you for tips and tricks. Keep up the great work and stay safe, healthy and strong!
Just leave to doors unbolted. That will save you a ton of time. Doors will never fall off thanks to physics. Both my JKU's can get jeep naked in 7 to 10 min maybe less. Never thought to time myself. I just get it done.
Dude, I just made an investment into the Top Lift Pro…. So much better than any cable system (but definitely costs more😢)unfortunately I just had rotator cuff surgery and I’m no longer able to lift the top myself… once I modify the unit to fit my TJ “The unit is mainly designed for the 07 & up” I had the top off and stored in less than 12 minutes “six bolts, wire harness and two latches”…. Plus you can also buy the bare pin set for the doors so that way you can always slide them off or on whenever you need to “and no, nobody’s gonna be able to take your doors when they’re on with the set unless you don’t lock your doors😆” and use straps for your hinge
As a fellow Illinoisan watching your video and looking at buying a Jeep I'm curious what do you do when a cop pulls you over for not having mirrors? You know it's only a matter of time before some Barney Fife grabs you for that one.
Snowdogkh we drove around quite a bit last year without mirrors and never had a problem, but this year we got Tube Doors and mirrors from Motor City Aftermarket.
If you have a rearview mirror anywhere on the vehicle... You're legal. Side mounted mirrors are not required in Illinois...

Just got a 2020 unlimited altitude Sahara in “sting grey” last thursday. First time having the 4 door, rather than the 2 door and im watching this to see what im getting myself into this summer lol
Cool video! It’s easier to remove the covers and electrical for the back doors if you slide the front seats all the way forward. I’m going “completely naked” for the next seven days here in Indianapolis.
Maciek G Sting Grey is an amazing color! I would just order exactly what you want. Mine took 18 days from order to delivery! I recommend calling Haley at St Charles Jeep, she took care of us! Tell her ShockerRacing sent ya.
Im working with Larry Roesch in Elmhurst. If they can't locate specs I want I probably will order. Although couple other dealers told me it may take up to 10 months?!?!? Shouldn't that be a 2019 model??? I don't know who to believe lol Not in the rush though. Mojito looks crazy - in a good way!
Maciek G yeah, they can’t really tell you for sure how long it will take and it depends on the items you order. Somethings end up back ordered. They told me 6-8 weeks but I was shocked when it showed up in 18 days!
New to the channel i saw a green jeep and subscribed immediately lol I been dying to buy a mojito rubicon before the year is over but my wife wants punk’n color this will help here see how nice it is .
Thanks for subscribing!!! We absolutely love this color! If you’re gonna do Mojito you better act soon because they discontinued it for 2019! That’s why we are glad we ordered when we did, instead of waiting for January like we originally planned!
Wrangler unlimited is my dream car. I wish I could afford buying one. 😩 That was a great video. I'm just getting lessons till someday I'll own one. Salut from Australia
I got a tip, hang the doors on the wall like they are on the Jeep, you have the backdoor n front of the front on the passenger side. It looks odd considering you have such a nice and organized garage. OCD
AK83MUSTI how? It lifts up out of the hole. There’s a pin that sits down into the bracket, welded to the door. A friend of mine doesn’t even put the bottom bolts in anymore. When the the doors are closed and locked, you’re not getting in regardless as it’s impossible to lift up and out.
once i removed those bolts they disappeared. I have never seen them again. Absolutely not necessary to keep the door on. The only thing that they can possibly do is keep someone from stealing your doors, but if the door is closed and locked they cannot do that.
Nice man!!!! I have seen tons of videos and no one has ever showed this, wich is "available" for all the jeeps out there. Great video and your Jeep is awesome!
Nice video but not very realistic. Most of us don't have a 3 car garage with room for a host and door hangers, which prob adds up to about $500 in extras. So I will give you the poor man's version, 2016 JK with half doors, I can unzip the 3 windows and remove the top half of the doors in 5 minutes. Cost $0. Then I still have the Tip of not folded back. Safari Style!
DUDE!!! Love The Video. I Always wondered how and how long the entire process was. Truly one of the most informative videos I've seen. Thanks!
steve Hodge so glad we could help!
steve Hodge - Thanks!
So cool they included a spot for the bolts to go.
But not for the check strap
Just doing my research on jeeps and ran across this video. Lots of work, but looks very much worth it at the end. Beautiful Mojito!!
David Marquez thank you! Once you get used to it, it’s no big deal.

So what I got from this is remove the painted bolts
GeneralN0va 😂😂😂
Yeah pretty much
And replace the hinge bolts with stainless pins that you leave in place, just unhook the wire and door check cloth strap and pick up the door.
I have the same setup. I've seen none better. Well worthy.
The best video out there to help you remove your doors and top, I’m not a handy guy but this video was absolutely awesome and extremely helpful. I got my Rubicon stripped in less than an hour for the first time.

I have taken everything off of our JL several times, no need to watch this video, yet I still find this video entertaining
Jack Pane thank you!
Things that money can buy! I love your set up.
But he did buy a wench for the lift. Lol
You’ve made me want a green wrangler now. Looks so cool with the roof and doors off
I was honestly not interested in owning a Jeep , but after this video you have definitely made me a believer. I’ll definitely be saving towards one in the future.

Josh Aynes once spring comes we will be leaving the door bolts out as well. Definitely saves a lot of time.
Yeah I'm one of those weird people that if its sunny but 30 degrees I take the doors off and drop the top. Even though I'm from Texas...
Just Got my Jeep a week ago. I really enjoyed your video on how to do this, Thanks!!!
Awesome! Glad to help!

Driving around topless... the best!
Laughs in Wrangler 2-door soft top
Kidding, great video and as I’ve never had a hardtop this was cool to see!
I'm getting my Rubicon next week here in Spain, I'm so excited! Although I went for a less American color... PNV is the code for mine. Great video!

The car looks so cool. I love the videos. Wranglers are my fav and me and my bestie are getting them when we get older lol.

You are welcome!

Tudor Baraian Osgoode I have a set now that I picked up from Rugged Ridge. I’ll be doing a new video about it soon.
Tudor Baraian Osgoode You don’t really need side mirrors when you can stick your whole body out of the side to check you blindspot
🤔 *gets up and goes outside to look at mirrors* lol
@@DBlkMoses LoL
Lol
I have purchased a 2020 jeep wrangler Sahara..picking it up this week..thank you great video.
Love the colour! Mojito would be my choice when it’s time for my Jeep.
A little bit easier on a 16 JKU, no cover to take off on the front wires and no door check to unbolt. Great video here! Walked us all the way thru it.
Glad we could help! I know a lot of people have a love hate relationship with the door check bolt!
Love your garage.
Reg Martin thanks! It’s what sold us on the house!
I second that, very nice
I agree, love how high the roof is, recessed lighting and the lift for your vehicle.
I fourth that!
I give the fifth!
Bad ass Jeep. Bad ass garage. Bad ass video. Nice work my friend. Thank you for helping me and others.
Chris Caballero thank you, always glad to help!
Your wife lets you take over the whole garage like that! Cool man she's a definite keeper like forever bud! Hahaha

OMG you have my dream garage
Colder climates I understand the hard top, but for me on the coast.....I’m soft top all year. Simple get naked process. Doors off, unlatch too and fold back. 10 minutes max.
Derek Grace yeah, I completely agree!
wish i could get a slick hardtop like that in florida but the summers are so bipolar with weather cant take the risk of leaving your top at home
Maybe just for the groceries or grab some to eat or evrn bringing the kids do sports
Try summers in Canada lol.
JL has drains in the floor.. get rained on = no problem. they are designed to get wet. just dont drive them like boat. i do believe the drain holes are plugged though, have to cut a piece of carpet out which is mostly cut out for you and then remove the rubber plugs, the plugs fit perfectly in the mopar rubber floor mats if you have them.

wow I gotta do this at least one time i'm in Texas so it gets hot here great video!
MsLeelee94 it’s so fun being naked! Lol
Me too. I’m always so nervous to have the doors off.
Im about to rig up something similar, I am also in Texas. I never have seen the rear hatch clips, im definitely going that route
I'm definitely getting that hoist thing now after watching this video. This will save a lot of time and cussing between me and the Mrs. because of smashed fingers
Also push the front seats forward so you can remove the cover easier
I find sliding my driver and passenger seats forward helps when removing the back panels. Nice Jeep! ✌🏽
Yeah that makes things way easier
Pro tip:
Fill the soap bottle with water 1st. Then add the soap so that it doesnt foam up.
mike bair thanks for the tip!
mike bair thats common sense
Thanks!
It's a foam cannon so u want it to foam up

The top lift pro is nice, but I don’t want that thing taking up the space in my garage. I like having mine up in the air.

Just got a 2020 unlimited altitude Sahara in “sting grey” last thursday. First time having the 4 door, rather than the 2 door and im watching this to see what im getting myself into this summer lol
Adam it’s not too hard, you’ll be fine!
Hello. I'm back, Mustang Kid!!!
Mustang Kid what’s up Mustang Kid??? Thanks for watching dude!
Thanks for the promo code for the door hangers and the tip for the lift adapter. Ordered both today.
Cara Rynerson awesome! You’ll love it!
Now put the windshield down :-P
I did that today for the first time in 7 years to see how long it would take on my jk, it was awful
@@frankjones43 I know what you mean. Usually takes about less than a minute on the new JLs.
Cool video! It’s easier to remove the covers and electrical for the back doors if you slide the front seats all the way forward. I’m going “completely naked” for the next seven days here in Indianapolis.
Rich Goeman awesome! We’ve been naked all this past week!
looking for sting grey rubicon, i'm in chicago as well
Maciek G Sting Grey is an amazing color! I would just order exactly what you want. Mine took 18 days from order to delivery! I recommend calling Haley at St Charles Jeep, she took care of us! Tell her ShockerRacing sent ya.
Im working with Larry Roesch in Elmhurst. If they can't locate specs I want I probably will order. Although couple other dealers told me it may take up to 10 months?!?!? Shouldn't that be a 2019 model??? I don't know who to believe lol Not in the rush though. Mojito looks crazy - in a good way!
Maciek G yeah, they can’t really tell you for sure how long it will take and it depends on the items you order. Somethings end up back ordered. They told me 6-8 weeks but I was shocked when it showed up in 18 days!
GOT MY JEEP FINALLY! in Sting Gray. Love it. My dealer in Elmhurst found one 2 states over, they brought it in and I picked it up last Saturday.
Maciek G hell yeah! If you’re on IG tag us in some pics!
Noice jeep!! It was very helpful to me and my family!!
New to the channel i saw a green jeep and subscribed immediately lol I been dying to buy a mojito rubicon before the year is over but my wife wants punk’n color this will help here see how nice it is .
Thanks for subscribing!!! We absolutely love this color! If you’re gonna do Mojito you better act soon because they discontinued it for 2019! That’s why we are glad we ordered when we did, instead of waiting for January like we originally planned!
Wrangler unlimited is my dream car. I wish I could afford buying one. 😩
That was a great video. I'm just getting lessons till someday I'll own one. Salut from Australia
Sa Yi Fu it will be so worth it when you get one! I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
Why hasn’t Jeep make brackets for the top of the hard top that comes factory...
Richie Mourato that would be nice!
Very much instructive, thank you a lot I was not aware about this important details as I am planning to buy a Wrangler Rubicon
Moroccan 07 glad to help!
I got a tip, hang the doors on the wall like they are on the Jeep, you have the backdoor n front of the front on the passenger side. It looks odd considering you have such a nice and organized garage. OCD
CoolRaul ODC 🙋🏻♂️here too
I was so scared when he removes the Bolts of the hinges and opened the door. Thinking door will fall off.
AK83MUSTI how? It lifts up out of the hole. There’s a pin that sits down into the bracket, welded to the door. A friend of mine doesn’t even put the bottom bolts in anymore. When the the doors are closed and locked, you’re not getting in regardless as it’s impossible to lift up and out.
once i removed those bolts they disappeared. I have never seen them again. Absolutely not necessary to keep the door on. The only thing that they can possibly do is keep someone from stealing your doors, but if the door is closed and locked they cannot do that.
I put the same lift in 2 years ago and it works great!
00 Stone it works really well!
Hey man! Please let me know where you purchased the hoist system. Something I’ll probably do in the future.
I got it on Amazon: amzn.to/2Q0aApa and you can get the hoist strap setup from www.topsyproducts.com
Nice man!!!! I have seen tons of videos and no one has ever showed this, wich is "available" for all the jeeps out there. Great video and your Jeep is awesome!
Thank you!
Man I can left the roof and doors off my tj in like 5 with the hard top and don't have to worry about damaging them thanks for sharing tho
Whats a tj??
Jets Set 5.0 jeep body style before the JK. 1997-2006
Cool video. My son just purchased one exactly like yours. Love this color.
Paul Munday that’s awesome!! He’s gonna love it!
JCR color matched half doors would look so good on this color
Thanks needed to see how long it would take to do it safely without messing up anything
I rented one the other day. It took me and my buddy 11min to remove everything and 14 to put everything back on. No special tool.
Dith Perlay yep, with 2 people it goes way faster!
Makes me appreciate how easy my 86cj7 was to take doors and top off.
Nice video but not very realistic. Most of us don't have a 3 car garage with room for a host and door hangers, which prob adds up to about $500 in extras. So I will give you the poor man's version, 2016 JK with half doors, I can unzip the 3 windows and remove the top half of the doors in 5 minutes. Cost $0. Then I still have the Tip of not folded back. Safari Style!
Sam Walker the whole setup is about $300... but stay tuned, we will be giving away a set of the door hangers in an upcoming video! 👍
It's realistic. Just because he has a 3 car-garage doesn't negate that: he just has more room.
You can also store those doors in a big enough shed too if you want. Non-issue.
