I did't take my camera into the roof to document my rafter reinforcement, but it
looks very similar to what was done in the link to stu-offroad.

The eye bolt has to withstand 2 times the weight applied to the lift cable. I
don't know what a top weighs, but guessing 150 pounds, then the load on the top
pulley is 300 pounds.

Now that's a setup. Kinda looked like you had some medieval torture chamber
thing going in a few of those pictures. ;)

Thanks for the ideas,
