I'm interested as well as I'm going to need something come spring for mine. I have a Harken Hoister, but that is dedicated for the LJ top, so I need a second one. somehow in spring I have to find room for 2 hardtops and 6 doors, lol

If you search the forum I believe there is a post where someone rigged up their Harken Hoist to work with their JT top. It's what I plan on doing when I get a Gladiator.

I did... it wasn’t hard but I had to think out of the box to make it work. I had to drill a different hole in the center section that could be moved back and forth due to being for a 2 or 4 door. I had to change where the white styrofoam pieces go so they kept the arraignment for the freedom tops on top of the lift as intended. But the biggest change was for the rear bar show in the picture to be extended... I had to go to Home Depot and buy some stock that matched the threads and a joiner piece. Also I had to move my top pulley attached to the ceiling over a joist to get the correct lifting angle.

it wasn’t hard to do but did take some engineering to work... I will say this... I do not remember what parts #’s I used. I just took my hook into HD and found what I needed and slapped it all together.

this the original item I have... I modified it with a electric winch from harbor freight.
