Dolly to store hardtop?

I did a search and found something from 2012 where 70_Steve said he made a dolly to store his hardtop, but there was no picture. Can some of you post a picture of your storage solution? I can't really go with the pulley system to store it up high. I think I'd like to store it upright on some sort of dolly.

Thanks,
Norm

Here's a really good idea....

.....of how not to store a hardtop. Currently on Craigslist, sure that's not leaving any marks on it or hurting the front edge.....

Look at either Quadratec or 4 Wheel Drive Hardware for the ones for Jeep tops and modify size/strength (metal vs. fiberglass top) to suit you.

I am trying to figure a cart to store my factory doors when using tube doors. I am not a metal worker, so this will be made of 2 X 4's, screws, glue, casters, etc.

Made a dolly outta wood and casters. It can be a little tippy if you're not careful but works fine to store the top.

Here is what I made out of wood. Mobil storage work area when top is on the Bronco.

Couple of sheetrock screws and fender washers make sure it does not bump off if I hit a crack in the concrete...

Thanks guys. The one from Grand Rapids is kind of what I had in mind. Wish there was a picture of it empty, but I guess I can figure out how to build one.

Thanks again!

Grand Rapids?
I'm looking for a storage solution myself. Can't do ceiling storage, so looking for upright solution.
