Got a jeep 2005 wrangler x and got some queations.

I traded my 07 chevy 1/2 in for a 05 wrangler x mainly because cause the truck was not 4x4 and  having no 4x4 was becomeing a pain when hunting and so on.  First whats the best way to take the hard top off? Also how do i get the windshield and doors down and off?  Also we have had some rain so me and my cousin went out to do some mudding. Figured it was semi clean and the car lot is detailing it tomorrow for free so why make it easy on them. Well i went over a 1 foot to 2 foot bumb and got stuck it was a humb on the ditch of a road. I figured it bottomed out but it had not as i could run my hand under the  oil pan though the grass was touching so it was close.  My front driver wheel was in air and it was spinning the tires. It may have been sitting on the driver axle but with  three tires firmly on the ground and low lock it should not have got stuck i would think. SO i need some good off road/ road worthly tires.  I want something i could drive to  say florida but go offroading and alittle mud nothing serious just some  light to med. stuff. I was thinking the thornbirds as a few friends recommended them on my 85 3/4 ton. Are they a good offroad/road tire.  I called the local tire barn and he recommend  mud kings as there good on the road and good in mud and general offroad. What would your recommend? I can deal with some noise if that is a issue with the thornbird just not sure if there ok on the interstate at high speeds will they shake?  But even with dealing with the road need i do not want to get stuck.
Also how big of a tire can i use on the stock wrangler without clearence issues.  

you didnt mention what tires you are running now. anyway, for tire size and no lift, you can get 31x10.5 i think. if not its guna be the 9.5, but im 100% sure 31s will fit. as for wat specific tire? ive never had experience with thorbirds. as for the mud kings? a buddy of mine is running them on his 88 dakota. he hasnt had any complaints about them, except on the fact he cant find them anywhere. i do believe the mud kings have a similiar tread pattern to the old BFG mud terrains, so they should do ya just fine.
