I wish I'd taken a picture. It was actually a TJ top, but the fit in the
bed would be the same effect. I did NOT have it upside down.

I tried every which-way, but the position I settled on was with the top
right side up, with the front overhang pointed over the driver's side
bed rail. Now, the overhang of the top seemed to stick out too far and I
didn't want an issue with the DPS, so I propped the back edge up on top
of the passenger side bedrail, which pointed the front overhang down and
shortened it. It rode perfectly in there with proper tiedowns. I used
blankets to keep the straps from rubbing the paint off the top (it was
in brand new condition).
