Can you lower the rear window on the TopLift Pro? I am running a sunrider so will take a bit more time to uninstall before removing the roof….hadn’t thought through that one!

btw - just picked up a TLP off of FB and will be listing everything needed for a ceiling hoist set up in the near future. Located in middle TN for pick up.
Their marketing makes it look like you can, but it might depend on the position of the lift handle from the videos I've seen.

I also have a harken, cost about $100 on Amazon cause I bought a ‘used’ one which turned out to be brand new with just a destroyed box. I was at approx $60-80 to buy similar at the store so it was an easy choice to spend $20 more for convenience

How do you like the Harken? I'm thinking of building a system similar to it. Did you get the version with freedom panel storage or no?

Wanting to add a hoist system to my garage to make removing the top easier. My garage roof is 8’-4” so not sure if that will be a limitation or not.

I like the simple idea of the Harken style, not really wanting to do the ratchet strap design.

Can I add the hoist and still have room to park facing forward under it?

Highly recommend the Top Lift If you want an easy and slim hoist system.

This looks great as I am trying to figure out best options in my garage--do you have your top 'above' your garage door track? I am looking at doing that and wondering how much space I need to make it work (sure I can measure the height of the top, but not sure what is practical). My garage ceilings are a bit over 11' and think I have around 3' 3" above my garage door rails to the ceiling. Would be installing the lift over the blue car in the foreground (not back single bay where Jeep is parked). This is a 2-car wide bay so door rail on one side and garage door opener on the other side--top would hang in between and above the opened garage door.

I sure do. I just measured and have 40” from ceiling to top of the track rail. I don’t have a ton of room but it’s more than an inch so you should be fine

Two kayak hoists, a pair of 6" dock cleats, some 550 paracord (I didn't trust the nylon line that came with the hoists)and a strap for security. Less then $50 for the whole shebang. Toss in T-handles for quick removal and I'm on/off in about 20 min.

I have a ceiling winch and used that for my JK. It’s also for deer processing. But liked the idea of being able to roll it into our third bay where I store my utv. The toplift works well. If you are good keeping it in one spot, the ceiling winch works well although I have 10’ ceilings. 8’4” might be tight.

I just installed the Lange yesterday. It was finicky to install and the instructions were wrong/horrible but a good system once you figure it out. I like the freedom pnl storage on top to save some more space. I got it from extremeterrain for $299.

I built a hoist system to remove my top. Cost around $150 for 2x4s, winch, aircraft cable, straps, 6 pulleys, and 5 eyebolts. Works extremely well.
Have any pics of the setup?
