Jeep JL/JT Freedom Top Removal and How to Store Them in the Bag
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ค. 2024
- In this video, Mrs ShockerRacing teaches you how to properly remove the Freedom Tops on a Jeep JL and how to place them in the storage bag. We found the process to be a little awkward the first few times we removed them and thought it would be helpful to share a few tips we figured out on the MojitoJeep. This process for removal is the same for Jeep Gladiator JT

This is still the best video I've ever seen on how to do this. Actually, it's the only video I've seen because I didn't need to watch another one! I just now watched it again, because it's been a while since we've had warm enough weather to take off the top--until today!
Rick Mansfield glad it helped and I’m jealous that you are somewhere warm enough to strip it down!
I'm in Louisiana, but believe it or not, it's been too cold here in the northern part of the state to remove the freedom panels. By the end of the month, I'll switch back to the soft top until Fall. I've got a Mojito jeep like yours by the way. And hopefully, after it gets warmer where you are, we'll see more of your Gladiator in upcoming videos.
dunno if you guys gives a shit but if you are stoned like me during the covid times you can watch pretty much all the latest series on Instaflixxer. Been streaming with my brother for the last few days =)
@Harper Rory definitely, been watching on instaflixxer for years myself :)
This is by far one of the best, if not the best video out there. The owners manual is garbage and unclear how to store in bag. This answered all and any questions you might have. Thank you!
This vid is 4 years old and still serving its purpose!!! Thank you!! Just got my 2023 Rubicon and this vid helped make my first top off experience go so well!! xx
So happy we could help! Be sure to subscribe!
THANK YOU!! The hardest part of the process was figuring out how they fit right in that dang bag!!
Hunter Douglas always glad to help!
I admit it. I could not figure this out. Drives me nuts. Thanks.
This was the best video ever for the new JL design and freedom top removal. We just upgraded from a JK to a JL and my wife and I were able to hit the doors off/roof off run in a matter of minutes because of this video. Thank you for posting!
Glad we could help!
I found the illustrations Jeep provided nuts - thanks for providing this!
Ken Thomas agreed! That’s why we wanted to share this!
I always wondered how that dang bag worked, thanks so much for this video. A wonderful presentation by a lovely woman!
You made putting the tops in the bag so easy. I was making it more difficult than it needed to be. Thank you!
Melissa Lile glad to help!
THANK YOU!!! I just got a Jeep and I was so confused about how to do this. Spent about 30 minutes trying to figure it out. I didn't! 🙂
So glad we could help!
Read my mind! Wife has had her jeep almost a year and wondered how this thing worked. Never took the time to figure it out. Thanks for the vid.
Matt Ferguson glad we could help!
I loved how simple this was! Just got my Jeep last weekend and finally did this!
Nice job guys, I remember my first time removing my freedom tops, I was about ready to burn the damn thing and claim insurance lol.
Windy City Jeep Force lmao! We couldn’t even figure out how to lay the bag out in the trunk! 😬
Mrs Shocker racing looking buff ! Great video, short and to the point yet very informative !
I gave up on putting them in the bag on my first time taking them off... but now I know ! Thanks 🤗❤️
s_xoxo glad to help!
Great video!! I was just out trying to do this, standing there scratching my head. The picture instructions from Jeep are about as good as the ones from IKEA! Thanks so much for sharing this. ❤
Lol, that’s exactly how we were until we figured out the tricks!
This was about the 5th video I've watched trying to figure the bag out. Very close tolerance zipping around one corner, but without the video, I think I would have given up. Thanks for putting me out of my misery.
Bill Fauth glad we could help! Hope you hit that subscribe button!
A very good video for first timer Jeep JL Wrangler owners. Thanks for sharing!
Br Cc thanks! It took us a while to figure out the system so we thought we’d pass along the info!
Well done, enjoy your videos. Would’ve been funny to have your hubby come out with his shirt off and be like, “we’re going topless baby!”
😂😂😂
i have had the soft top for like 2 years finally got the hard top i just gave up and left the panels in the garage the first time lol this video definitely helped
I just purchased my first Jeep and really needed this video! Thanks so much❤
Thanks so much!!! Been looking everywhere and you explained so well!!!!!
Glad we could help!
Love your videos! Thanks for the tip in laying down. I couldn't figure out and felt so dumb. BTW when having upright strapped to the rear headrests, there is a clip on the bottom to strap to one of the storage tie-downs in the rear of the Jeep so the bottom of the bag doesn't slide around.
Tony Giudicessi good to know! We’ve never tried standing ours up.
Nicely demonstrated and explained.Thank you!
Honestly I’ve had my 2021 for two weeks and I had no idea that it could be laid down flat like that having an upright does block your vision granted you do have a reverse camera in almost every JL model however it does still blocked your vision putting it down I had no idea you could do that that is so awesome this video was great thank you
Andrew Motta glad we could help!
Thank you! The hieroglyphics we're indecipherable.
Thank you so much for making this video! I may try taking mine off for the first time today and this is super helpful - exactly what I was looking for !
Mandy Whitaker glad we could help! Definitely take them out and give it a try, it’s so nice having them out!
Well done!! 👍🏻 very informative 😊
JeepInformant thanks! Love your channel as well!
Excellent, very well done! Thank you!
Excellent video. Made taking off my top so easy. Thanks
Glad we could help!
Thank you!! I could NOT figure out how to get them in the bag the right way. Big help!
Always glad to help!
This was hugely helpful!! Thank you!!
We are always glad to help!
Terrific video. Thank you. Helped a lot. This is my second Wrangler and I never even stowed the tops in the holder before. Simple. Much appreciated
Thanks! Glad we could help, it took us a while to figure it out.
That was extremely helpful thanks
I got to try out a Broncos 4 door hardtop, SOOOOOO much easier than our JL'S. And it actually is 1 person capable you dont havr to buy a lift or find someone else all though they do tell you not to 1 person it. The back cargo cover is about 45 pounds and about 4 feet long so you can easily just climb in the back grab each side and slide out
Awesome video thank you! New Jeep owner here had no idea this video was a great help. Excellent detail on placement
Always glad to hear we could help!
Seriously you’re video is the best I’ve seen. I’m subscribed I bought my 2019 Jeep unlimited sport S. 2 days ago. It’s been raining ☔️ last 2 days.
Joey C that sucks it’s been raining but congrats and thanks for subscribing
ShockerRacing - Mojito Jeep thank you. That color is gorgeous. I got the stingray gray. 🤩
Not sure if this was mentioned but the 45° angle is for the angle on the top. When you attach the bag to the back seat (standing up) the 45° angle should be on the right side bottom.
Just subscribed. Can’t wait to see more. Beautiful Jeep.
JeepInformant thank you! Much appreciated!
Excellent video & info! You sure saved my husband & I a lot of time! We were trying to figure out the puzzle, too! The illustration it came with was horrible! Thanks, again! It's no wonder that you have 632 likes so far! Extremely helpful video, bless you, my child, lol!!! :)
Ban3457 glad we could help! 😜
Geeeeez I want to say THANK YOU don’t know why I was having such a hard time trying to figure this thing out but came across your video and it did help so Thank You...
shayshaylaba glad to help! We were having a hard time until we finally figured it out 😜
I totally needed this today!! Thank you!
Awesome, easy to follow video. Thanks for saving me the time on reading the instructions!
Dr. Mike glad to help!
Thank you for this!! So helpful and very informative!
Nicole Nixon we are always glad to help!
Good video. Explained well. Thanks.
This made my day! Couldn't figure this out at all! Thanks guys!
Awesome! Glad to help!
Great vid. Thanks for simplifying this.
We are always glad to help!
Thank you so much for making this!! I just got a JL and could could not figure it out lol
Glad we could help!
Just used the freedom top bag and this was a great help. Thanks!
Awesome! Always glad to hear we were able to help!
Thank you so much really well explained everything you described except for the shoulder strap came with my 2020 Gladiator
I kust bought a green sahara 4 door with aftermarket suspension and stupid huge tires. I've had 3 people say how nice it looks.
I still watch this when I need help lol
Very helpful. Thanks for posting!
Doug Eastman always glad to help!
Thank You! That was very helpful! It was a bit confusing in my first attempt. Your explanation was pleasant and thorough! ... and your legs are amazing! ;-)
Romeo Entertainment thank you!
Agreed, they are all pretty good, but this is the A#1 best because of the small details. Like no need to work bent over with your storage bag laying in the dirt, in it in the jeep. And a very to flow to the clearly explained details.
The instructions also say to use the little clip on the corner of the bag to secure it to the D ring on the floor closest to the rear seat so that the bottom of the bag doesn't slide out during acceleration when the bag is in the upright position. I thinks thats important also if you don't want them to get scratched.
I never saw the CAR you were talking about But that Jeep Wrangler looked real Nice... Good video..
J Boss 😂😂😂😂 months later and I still can’t get her to break that habit!
Good informative video. 🙂🙂.
Taking off the new freedom panels are a lot easier now. But I do remember spending about an hour looking at the ‘not so easy’ “Directions” lol. It would be great if Jeeps salesperson took the 7 minutes it actually takes from start to finish & showed the new owners.
After that looking at the included instructions would make better sense.
Or they could include your link 😉 and make it super easy.
J Boss we asked the salesperson how they work, and even they didn’t know. So once we figured it out, we decided we needed to make a video!
Love the monito color on the new JL!
JK southwest thanks!!!
First of all thank you for posting this demo on the Freedom Top Storage Bag. Just picked up my new JL last week and took the panels off for the first time. But as I was putting them in the storage bag, I noticed the top portion of the bag was a little difficult to zip close. Have you run into this issue. I don't know. Perhaps I'm not doing something correctly. I do like your method better of laying the bag flat in the back to get the panels in. Seems much easier than trying to stand it up.
Jeff Davis Vlogs it’s sometimes a little tight, we just adjust them and push the tops in a little further. Also, make sure your latches are latched before putting the tops in the bag.
Super helpful, thank you so much!!! 😊😊
Mina Dehestani always glad to help!
Thanks for the video. Saved me some time for sure.
ahappyimago glad to help!
Excellent video thank you!
And I love the Mohito green!
.
joezephyr glad you enjoyed the video!
So I guess I'll be that guy.. Mojito! 😐
Steve Bowles you’re not a fan of Mojito?
@@shockerracing No, quite the opposite. I really dig Mojito & other than having black hair (not color matched), own a twin to yours.
My previous comment was a one shot attempt at being part of the TH-cam Grammar Correction Task Force in which I failed miserably 😃
Steve Bowles lol! Now I understand!
Great job
Thank you for doing this. I was so confused lol.
BioHazard Shrimp glad we could help!
Drivers side freedom top still had the clamp up as she put it in the bag.
Brandon Zimmerman good eye! 😉👍
Don't want you scratching the tops. That color is slick
Brandon Zimmerman 👍👍👍
Brandon Zimmerman yep
This helped a lot! Thank you!
AnonymousX glad we could help!
Thanks for this, just got a new Mojito Moab JL :)
John Trussell congrats!
So up against the rear seats it blocks the view out back.
How about sideways, against the rear quarter windows, will it fit? Strapped to the sport bar? Or is it too wide?
Very well done video.
Thank you. Saved me some time.
Harold D always glad to help!
Nice vid thanks!
Thank you... it did make it easy for us!
Always glad to help!
Thank you! I couldn’t figure mine out!
Great video. Thanks for helping out a newbie. Just cringed every time you called it a car 😅
😂😂😂 it took a long time to break Kim of that habit!
Cant wait until I get mine!
Anthony Ware when are you expecting it???
@@shockerracing fall or so for me so I have a little wait
I was following the directions on the bag in the wrong order lol. Also there isnt a lot of room with the 2 door. May just remove the back seats! :) Nice Jeep!
AKAGlenn yeah I think with the 2door your only choice is to stand them up.
Thanks so much! 😉
Do you find that laying them down is an extremely tight fit. Seems like these will rub against the tailgate and I tried with them standing up but didn’t like the lack or rear vision. Could do with 1/2” more depth in the rear. Also looking to see it there is a shelf I can put over this so can still use the trunk.
Martin Robertson ours fit just right so they are fit in there nicely. As far as a shelf, I’m not aware of any.
I could have figured that out on my own but i liked watching you do it lol
new sub! great videos!! is your Jeep stock wheels/tires/lift in this video?
Nathan Holmes yes, in this video is was all stock. We currently have 20” wheels with 35” tires. Thanks for subscribing!
OMG thank you ❤❤❤❤
Hey Shockers .. I have been looking all over the internet for a Jeep like yours, I don’t find as all of them are black freedom panels .. is this a preorder or are these out in the market .. I do see lot of mojito but like urs
avinash ibbandi I ordered mine at a dealer and got it in 18 days!
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH ❤❤❤❤❤
Keaira La'Rae always glad to help!
Love your videos. Where did you get your hard top storage? Did it came with dealership? I need to get one. Thanks
gmaine the freedom top bag came with the Jeep from the factory.
comes with the jeep new
I have the 2021 4 door. With my tops stored in the bag exactly like the video, the bag is too long for the tailgate to close....... i’m wondering if they changed the foam block inside the bag and made it thicker?
I just answered my own question... I have a 4xe..... and there is a battery ledge behind the seat that takes up a few inches. I may try a different brand of storage bag that does now have the foam block.
@@JD-sy4up I was about to say something has to be different because we also have a 2021 392 and it works perfectly.
Hey folks... noticed in one of your videos the hoist you have for your hardtop could you tell me a little bit more about it. Thanks I’ve got a 19 JLU Rubicon in Sting Gray
John Vaccaro we use the Topsy Products Hinge Hoists and the Racor Hoist. All of the details and demonstration can be seen in this video along with links to the items: th-cam.com/video/QworGMGjfZg/w-d-xo.html
Great video!! I picked up a JL but it did not come with a bag. Do you know what brand the bag is?
Peter Jones the bag should come with it from Jeep. Go back to your dealer
Not a big fan of green but this is fire! Reminds me of my green machine!
gghostrrider we’re not usually fans of green cars either but Jeep nailed it with the Mojito!
I have had my Mango Tango for 6 mo. and have not yet taken the top off. Been afraid to. Your video has me pumped, first pretty day I'm going to be adventurous. Thanks, so great. Also, what brand is your bag, I bought a used vehicle and it didn't come with one.
Denise Gallaway ours came with the Jeep
Literally just picked up my first JL. Is driving with the back half on and the freedom panels off OK?
DeebO definitely! We do it all the time!
@@shockerracing thanks! I'm really looking forward to this summer.
I thought you were going topless 😂🤞
cute 😍
By the way, was going to ask how you're liking it? Had any issues?
Steve Bowles we absolutely love it! The only issue we have had was that both front fenders had weird waves/dimples in them. The dealer approved the repair as a factory defect but they tried to fill them and repaint them and they turned out worse. We are dropping it off on Thursday for them to completely replace and repaint both front fenders.
Legs 🦵 😍😍😍😍
Does it have incorporated guns, in case you meet someone who hates your freedom?
😂😂😂
It seems very easy but for some reason I cannot get the second top in far enough to close the bag.....any idea what I’m doing wrong?!?!?
Melissa Bamler it is a snug fit but did you make sure to put the latch down on both of the tops before putting them in the bag?
Wow, beautiful lady and she's great explaining everything in the video.
I don't even have a jeep... But i did like the video....
Jared Bennett thanks!
@@shockerracing your welcome..😁😁😁
Sadly you can’t lie it flat in the Wrangler 4xe, but the basic loading technique works great. You just have to strap the case up vertically (which blocks the rear view mirror). Not the end of the world.
Why doesn’t it fit flat in a 4xE?
@@shockerracing The battery under the rear seat creates a shelf - the 4xe cargo area doesn’t fold flat like the gas models. That little shelf under the seat back juts into the cargo area by a few inches. When you lie the bag flat, it sticks out too far and you can’t close the tailgate.
@@Slaphitter I did not know that! That’s a shame
