Roll-n-jack

[psrivats]

I have always hated having to depend on other people for removing the hard top and then hear random jeep related comments whenever it happens, and then the complaints about doing it again int he winter. Hoist is not an option where I currently live for several reasons. I had heard about the Roll-n-jack and I went in on the kickstarter since I got the "early bird" price (~50% of what the website price is now + some free goodies). Many here are going to say this is a waste of money - but for me, this is a great solution. I just received mine just now. Going to assemble it in a short while and see it it was worth it (I think it will be).

I have to say that was a really *VERY* well run kickstarter. Lots of updates, great communication and delivery nearly on time even with Covid delays.

This is how it works:

I hope it works out for you. I like the concept. Maybe in time, the price will drop where I would buy one.

Cool

It’s you‘re money to use how you need/want so I wouldn’t worry about anyone. : )

Have you gotten it yet? Did it work well?

He got it, but it turns out that it doesn't work for a TJ hard top due to the lifting pad placement (correct me if I'm wrong Sri).

So now he's going to have to have it machined to fit it looks like.

This is based on a personal conversation I had with him about this not too long ago.

Guess I’ll stick with my myLIFTER, I’ll probably never put the hard top back on anyway.

Seems like you'd want it on. Isn't it cold in MN? Or you don't drive it during the winter months?

I won’t drive it once they salt. Heater works damn well plus heated seats.

Yeah, that makes sense. Down here I just dumped both tops altogether

I told myself I'll never need a top again now that I'm in Arizona.

I posted more updates in my build thread, see there.

I did have to get a little machining done.. just got it back home from the machine shop actually. It should work. Will try and take the top off later today finally!

Notice how symmetrical his toes are. The right big toe is a little chunkier, but not enough to knock off any points. Those are good toes in my book.

Not sure about that my son went to UofA in Tucson and they use to get monsoon rain in the lat fall, just saying

Yes, that happens, but if rain is in the forecast, I don’t drive the TJ.

That was the reason i kept the soft top
