My method for the top is to let the tailgate down, unbolt the top, then get in the back seat, lift the top over my head, step over the rear seats into the bed of the truck and hop down off the tailgate. Its not crazy heavy, definitely doable one person without a lift. Just make sure you don't land funny jumping off the tailgate and twist your ankles up.
So I took it off yesterday and the worst part was setting it down and trying not to scratch the bottom corners. Was too hard to try and line them up lol. Good to know I can do it by myself in a pinch though!

I am 6'2 and able to remove it alone, it isn't heavy just bulky. I was going to do the hoist thing but I have a better storage location for it on the back wall. Thought about a hoist to lift it and slide it back but just not worth the complexity. I will get find some rollers that have a pin which would fit in the bolt holes and allow it to roll across the bedrails.

Ive used a skateboard across the tonneau, that worked well, but it leaves tracks.
