Bestop 4280501 HOSS System For 2007-2018 Wrangler Jk 2DR/4DR Hardtops

A pain to put together. One of the holes was not drilled out so I had to drill it out myself. the form are a pain to get on and do not go all the way to the end of the bars. The bottom piece that holds the hardtop took some modification to make the top for the 2 door hardtop stay secured. After all that was figured out it is smooth sailing. A great item to have. easy to put doors in and take out, casters roll easy and are study to hold the weight. saved so much space in the garage and kept them from being on the ground and getting scratched up.

I got this to save room. It stores my hard top upright and let's me slide my hard doors with it to. I gave it a 4 because I modified the door holding cart some. I drilled small holes on bottom of pipes to insert cotter pins , so when I lift door out of cart pipes don't fall out. I also used pipe insulation to completely cover pipes so doors will not scratch while installing and removing

I love this storage system! I had been placing the hardtop on my boat (which I never used) but sold the boat and now what? I bought this so I could also store my doors. The roof rack makes it easier to take the roof off and it sure beats standing your doors up against the wall where they could fall over. It comes with solid pipe insulation. Tip: cut the pipe insulation in two and mount at the corners of the door racks - this provides better support for the doors.I've read reviews that say the door rack is flimsy. I disagree. I will say, you can't roll this across the floor like you are in a race. What you can do is gently roll the doors around. I also wrapped black electrical tape around teh pipes that insert into the cart to keep them stable. They had a tendency to pop up if you held them wrong while rolling your doors around.With teh doors on the rack and inserted into the roof rack, the whole thing takes up very little floor space compared to having doors leaned up against walls or the roof laying on a table ro some such.

There's a lot of things I don't like about this product, but I will start with the positives. It doesn't take up a lot of room and will store the freedom top in a vertical position for long times.However, this system is very expensive and not really economical depending on that price tag. The door cart or the roof cart can't really be rolled while loaded with any weight, the roof cart isn't massive enough to stabilize the 90+ lb roof for rolling, while the door cart has parts that are not secured to the base in any meaningful way so rolling while loaded will cause the door cart to fall apart.For the price I was expecting a door cart that would hold the 2 front pieces of the freedom top and at least 2 doors, but I won't trust this the cart to hold any of my doors.

Cart does not work with 2015 Freedom top. The bracket that is designed to fit to the rear glass and hold it in place did not fit. I will be emailing bestop and see if they can make me a different bracket so I can still use this. The length of the strap was also way too long but that was fixed pretty easily. Bars on the storage cart aren't designed that well and come apart frequently when sliding doors in, But it does serve the purpose you just have to be careful.

This product pretty much does what you'd want it to, with a couple of caveats. Before I get into those, I'll say that the package arrived with no damage, and it was packaged well. I put it together without issue.The first caveat is the door holder brackets - they aren't the most stable things. They fit into holes on the sides of the cart, but it's pretty easy to pull them out when you don't want to. If they had made them protrude into the base a little more they would be much more stable. I haven't put my doors in it yet, but I am a little concerned that one of the brackets could come out, which could result in a door coming out. Knowing that I'll be careful rolling the cart, but it would be nice if they fit into the base more securely. I can live with it.The other caveat is something that would have been easy to fix, or at least warn people about. The HOSS comes with a strap that attaches to the hard top with a clip, then wraps around the cart (the piece you attach to the back of the hard top). The one thing they don't mention in the manual, or on the web site, is the strap is only for use on the four door top - not the two door. I made it work by wrapping the strap around the bottom part of the cart instead of the top part as the manual says. I don't know if that would put pressure in areas you don't want, but it ended up working fine.It would have been easy to change the manual to point this out, or even include a little slip of paper to let people know. They didn't, so I had to figure out a workaround and hope it didn't cause any problems.Many people have made their own carts and door storage devices, but I didn't want to spend the time on it and figured this would be easier. If I had the time, it would have been better to build something myself. If you don't have the time or the inclination to DIY a solution, this will get the job done. It's overpriced for what it is, and the two problems I had with it would be easy to solve, but even with those issues I'd still recommend it.

Sturdy. Well designed. All Bestop purchases come with a reasonable estimate of difficulty and time to assemble. It does take some time, so don't think you'll put this together in 30 minutes. Also, a tip - I used a bit of spray cooking oil to lubricate the 12 or so foam protectors that go on the door storage rack tubes. Without it, the push over the 90 degree bends can lead to a tear in your protector. After that little hack, all install went great and everything fit up well. Combines nicely with the rack for your hard top.

Dislike - door rack flimsy - I will need to drill holes and bolt in place to prevent rack from coming apart when moving.
