I was keeping it at work but we moved to a bigger warehouse but for some reason there isn't enough room now. And all my relatives are in ontario or Ireland

Rent a self storage garage ( That would pretty costly I imagine.) or run soft top year around and sell the hard top.

I have been running soft top only for three years now. My hard top is just sitting there wasting away and taking up space. Sell it.

I hear ya though. I would have a tough time selling mine too!

i vote sell it too.
My 97 TJ and 03TJ NEVER had a hardtop. Zero complaints. Actually with the soft top, i never had frost buildup on the windshield...ever!
i never was cold...ever.

Soft tops don't like winters... Learn that the hard way with my GF's Jeep. ...plastic breaks easy at -20C.  :(

If you have enough clearance in your garage a set of pulleys, steel rope and a PA hand winch hangs it on the ceiling.  ($50.00 tops)
I back in underneath it and gentle lower the top back on the jeep when I need it.
