EL Cheapo Hardtop Hoist

[laybackman]

I decided to build a hardtop hoist to remove or put on my hardtop. I wanted it to be cheap, strong and easy to store. I do not consider myself a fabricator but I can usually come up with a solution to a problem. I did some thinking on the designs. Based on a past project I figured to use the same materials. The finished product works rather well.

I decided to post a link to a .htm file that has the description of my El Cheapo Hardtop Hoist and some pictures. Let me know if I screwed something up in my description.

looks like it will do the trick well! Nice "el cheapo" lift!

The Proof: The one thing I didn't do was take a picture of the hardtop being held in the air over my YJ by my El Cheapo Hardtop Hoist. DUH!

TAKE A PICTURE!

i take a old rim and the plastic truck box that i keep in my cj and make stairs leading to my tailgate. then i get under the hardtop pick it up, and walk up the "stairs" to put it on and off. strong like bull and a'bout as smart
