  1. One person hard top removal

    3 4x4s, 2 2x8s, 4 2x4s a few low cost pulleys and low buck hand winch. Misl. Lag screws. What I did so I can remove my LJ hardtop, put on shell on JT, unload trailer, RTT or whatever. Not as elegant as his gantry crane but not to expensive and I built it, stood up by myself. I wouldn't try to...

    One person hard top removal

    ...garage height wise. This one is just wide enough to fit my Gladiator between it with some room to spare but not much. I chose the electric hoist vs chains since I didn't want the chains to damage the paint. It also has a wireless remote control for it. I also have the trolly that rides back...

  3. One person hard top removal

    ...and pinched nerves I have one that was used to load sprint cars onto a trailer. It's engineered to hold a lot more load than my current chain hoist will handle, still, I can lift a car up to back a trailer under the car. The gantry crane isn't wide enough to back the trailer clear under...

    One person hard top removal

    ...that could be used to take off the hard shell cover easily, roof top tent etc. probably would run $600.00 plus $130.00 for the electric 1,100lb hoist. Can be used for other heavy stuff as well like engines etc. In the past I used mine to lift a 37”x 20 tire up on the roof rack. It’s a rolling...

  5. One person hard top removal

    I'm not disagreeing at all about back problems. But my garage isn't tall enough or deep enough for a hoist. The garage door opens to where the hoist would need to be mounted. I'd have one if I could. The garage door is only about as deep as the JT is long, so when the garage door slides up...

  6. One person hard top removal

    Not if you have back issues and lifting even 40 pounds is problematic. As far as a hoist - who says a building has to be "tall enough"? Once the thing is up even 6", you drive out from under it.

  7. Gladiator Expedition Rigs

    ...take this on and off by myself? Since it's not fully enclosed, I want to store it in my garage when not used and go from hardtop to convertible, to camper, fairly easily. My camper is too tall to drive in my garage, so ceiling mounted hoist won't work. Let's see your ideas!! Here's a few I...

    Great tips thanks!

  9. Jack Points for Floor jack (3 Ton Professional type)

    ...raised using a floor jack, stands under the rear axle tubes. I needed the whole car high. Front is being lifted using a gantry crane and chain hoist because I needed 100% of the area under the car clear to slide the engine under as a unit. Note the stands on either side, though.......... I...

  10. TruShield JL Hard Top Hoist - Will it work for my JT?

    A friend of my wife has an in-the-box never-installed hard top hoist that she bought a while back for her 2018 Wrangler. She wants to know if we want it for cheap ($50). What are the chances it would work for us? How similar are the hard tops? Think it's worth taking a chance on it? The box is...

  11. Reducing length of Gladiator to fit in garage

    Unfortunately there’s no room. I tried the ramp idea today and it still didn’t fit. It wasn’t a lot of fun backing up on to the ramps either. I am able to get it into the garage far enough to use the hoist straps but I think a cab cover is my cheapest/simplest/least complicated option right now.

  12. Jack Points for Floor jack (3 Ton Professional type)

    I got a chance to read that attachment - and thanks again!...So the way I interpret it, with a floor jack I can use the four corners of the frame denoted by #1 in the figure, or the two side of the rear axil denoted by #2...Do you see it the same way?

  13. Jack Points for Floor jack (3 Ton Professional type)

    Awsome! That is a Keeper! Thanks!!!

  14. Jack Points for Floor jack (3 Ton Professional type)

    Attached is the OEM recommended lift points for both floor jack and 4 point hoist lifts. Most times, I just use the lower control arm pivot point on whatever axle end and side I am lifting with a floor jack.

  15. Introduction and question seeking an upgrade I can't find.

    Thanks for the welcome! I'll take your advice and give it some time. It's the rear ones I find annoying, but maybe I'll get used to them.

  16. Introduction and question seeking an upgrade I can't find.

    ...to get kicked out by a rear passenger though. For your top though, they do make a few different options to help. Some mount to your ceiling and hoist the top up or something like this that you slide underneath and leverage it up yourself: Jeep Hardtop Removal Tool | Jeep Hardtop Storage...

  17. Introduction and question seeking an upgrade I can't find.

    ...they became extremely easy to use and understand. For hardtop removal, there are tons, tons, tons of options out there from garage-mounted hoist systems to 'cherry-picker' style crane systems to 'I can take it off myself and place it on a cart' ideas. The trick is just to decide which option...

  18. DIY Top Hoist

    I made one from a Harbor Freight engine hoist to install my RSI Smartcap. I put a piece of unistrut down the center, and some bags of salt on the base to keep it from tipping.

  19. DIY Top Hoist

    Im trying to figure out a rolling top hoist. My garage isnt big enough to do something from the ceiling and i really dont want to spend over 1k for the Top Lift Pro. I was thinking there should be a way to convert an old engine hoist to work. Has anybody DIY’d a rolling lift?
