So I decided to see how easy it was to take the top off and on by myself. NOW you can totally take the top off by yourself easy peasy BUT putting the top on in a hot garage with no circulation sheesh get ready for a sweat fest. I also learned the front doors are heavier then the rears why did I think they all share the same weight I just don’t know lol

I dont recomend it. I had to do it alone once. I dont get how guys do it. Im over 6 feet and i have a small lift on my jeep yet i still have to jump up into the back while holding the top over my head. And its almost impossible to find the balance point, my heart was racing so fast by the end because i almost lost it

Be honest…. The sweat was from when you were shitting yourself thinking “if i drop this ill have no roof on my vehicle until i drop 4 grand for a new one” ?

Nice work! I wish I could do that. I would have tried that about 10 yrs ago, but I'm afraid I would bust a nut doing it now. More power to you! I'm impressed.

There was a guy in the forum a while ago that dropped his and broke it.
They’re not really 4 grand for a new one are they?

Just do a homemade hoist in the garage for the roof and hangers for the doors. It is super cheap and safe. I do it myself without help.
