Hard Top Lift.

Click pic for larger pic (some pics are pretty big)

This is a setup I bought so I could take off the hard top

and store it in the garage by hanging it from the ceiling.

It will make it easy for me to install or remove the hard top

by myself.  It consists of a hand winch, a frame to hang

the top from, and basically some eyebolts.  Pretty simple

setup and seems to work well so far.  I'll know for sure when

winter comes and I have to put the top back on.

Frame hanging.

 

Success!  Added a couple tie downs so if for some reason

it falls the tie downs will catch it before it can do any damage.

Kind of a safety backup.
