This is not my video but this is how I do mine right now, maybe someday I will get a garage and can do something like you all.

It is a pain in the butt though if there is anything at all in the back of the jeep. I have a large action packer tote for tools and such and cant get all the way into the back of the jeep like this guy. It will probably be even harder with the lift and 35s. I will have to try it and see I guess.

I just set mine against the house "hoping" that if the wind decided to take it then the house would hopefully stop it pretty much. So far it has always been there when I got back. I'm hoping/planning to one day have a shop or garage and make a lift system to put it up in the rafters so it is out of the way and run a soft top during the warmer months. Really in Oklahoma we could get buy with a soft top year round but I want to keep the hardtop for those really cold days. May be more of a piece of mind more than anything though.

Sorry for the multiple posts, I'm using the app...

I'm not so worried about the wind once it's off and on the ground, I would put mine in the garage. I'm more worried about the wind while lifting it off the jeep, and carrying it INTO the garage. I don't think the wind (atleast not here) would EVER be strong enough to blow the top around once it's on the ground, but if I'm carrying it over my head, it won't take much to tip it off balance resulting in it crashing onto the pavement from some 8+ feet in the air (arms extended over head)... That's what I was referring too.
