Hardtop hoists
 

Anybody use/familiar with this sort of hard-top hoist?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2452006595

For the past couple of years I've been asking my brother to help with
twice-yearly removal/reinstall, but that always entails some sort of
receproisity (e.g., helping to hang dry wall, babysitting nieces/nephews,
etc.), so I'm looking for an alternate solution. :)

Anybody know of good hoists or ones to avoid?

Re: Hardtop hoists
 

You know, when we are out hunting we use game hoists to pull the animals up
into trees etc. A hardtop weighs much less than a mule deer or elk, so
building your own should be fairly easy if you get a game hoist to start
from, or you could rough it like me and just use the ragtop. We have not
been above freezing for days and it stayed warm inside even at 10 degrees.

Re: Hardtop hoists
 

The trick is adding the hooks to grab the hardtop securely
yet avoid scratching it. When I used to have sports cars
with hardtops always meant to get around to hacking a
garage door opener into a power hardtop hoist... but
usually someone would drop by at about the right time
and could be bribed with a beer or whatever.
