Roll N Jack - 4 door experience to remove hardtop

[Jonny way]

Has anyone on the forum had experience with this product? I'm concerned about how the roll bar aligns to the roof for lifting.

I have and I am very pleased with the ease and ability to store the rear of the hardtop with it. Highly recommended.

Are these even for sale anymore? I looked into these months ago but I can't find any for sale except a few used versions on eBay.

perfect. Thank you for the review and pictures.

So you dont use the 5th (4-door) post?

I have one too and love it! I don't use the fifth post, nor did I get the half moon posts that they recommend.

Yep, same don't use the forward post. I did end up cutting the supplied post into 1/2 moons only to find it wasn't really needed

Nice easy controlled system & packs away easy enough

I can switch from hard top to TrekTop in about an hour anytime I want now. Most of the time is with the soft top install or removal.

I looked at them but every video I saw of them it seems like a lot of cranking to get the top off. The price was more attractive than that of a top lift pro but I really liked with the top lift it was just a push and the top was off. So I bought a used Toplift on FB market place for the same price of a Rollin Jac and looks like new. Just a thought for you to consider.

I have the Roll N Jack with the 2 door. What a PAIN! There is a bar (sorry no pics) that runs across the back near the rear window. So...............I put the lift in. Make contact with all 5 points. Now.................I have to drop down the back 2 so they will fit under the bar, roll back about 1 foot, put up the back 2, roll back about a foot, now drop down the second 2 so they will fit under the bar, roll back about a foot, put up the second 2, roll back about a foot, now drop down the last 1 in the front so it will fit under the bar, roll back about a foot, put up the front 1. Then done. P.I.T.A. unless I'm doing something completely wrong which is possible. Do the 4 doors not have this bar running across the back???

I found in order to use the forward post, you need 2 of the half moon post in the back, because with ithe roll-n-jack pulled all the way to the back, the forward post just grabs the center latch point.
I do use the forward post for extra support, but only because my kids have been known to bump into it in the garage.
I do agree that it is plenty stable with just the 4 regular post and not the forward post under normal circumstances.

Other than the fact that they sell you 4 half moon post instead of just 2 for half the price, I have no complaints and absolutely love my roll-n-jack.

I think the sport bar rear cross piece you mentioned, is located further forward on the 4-door. So maybe it doesn't interfere as much with the lift contact points?

Yes! The bar on the 2dr, is right in front of the rear window. Right in the way.

@CapeCodCash I'v had both a 2-door and a 4-door. Much easier with the 4-door since there is no rear roll bar. For the 2-Door I used the same method. No way to get around it honestly unless you have a second set of hands. Also if you have 6.5" speaker pods you may want to wrap the pole in felt tape because there is contact (same with the raptor/fp rear brace).
