This is how I Lift my hardtop from my Jeep JKU. Harbor Freight Style. This price includes the winch and the strapping only. Everything else I used in this video, I already had laying around. Good luck. This system works great!! I am a part of the Amazon Associate program. Clicking the links is a great way to support my channel and cost you nothing.

I already have a winch installed for hauling storage bins into the upper portion of my garage so this just saved me a bunch of time having to think of something and have it work. Thank you Sir for posting this!

What a great idea. It solves my jeep issue and it give me a great project to work on. The best part is how it makes everyone think about how they can adjust your great idea into their own version.

Excellent! Gotta start reinforcing my carport this weekend and take a trip to Harbor Freight. Thanks for the tip and thorough explanation.

Innovation at its finest. Cool setup and easy on the budget. Thanks. Will be doing this also

Dig it man, just bought my 1st Jeep and will put together a setup in my barn like this. Thank you for sharing that, Jeep on brotha ✌️

My goodness this is genius. Thank you so much for this video and for putting up the link to buy the winch. You are the coolest dude on this planet. Thanks again

That is one fine piece of Country Boy Engineering sir. Well done!

Did this today. Worked out great. Glad I had that cigarette outlet in the back.

I will have my garage in a few weeks , thanks for the tip sir . Well a few more months till spring as well

Man that's a great video! Thank you for sharing your idea with everyone.

Great Idea. Great job. Great video. I'm going to use this system as well....thank you.

Great Job! Thank you for sharing - saves hundreds!!!

Pretty smart way of powering you winch. With the price of ever upgrade, it nice to save money we’re you can . Well done.

Genius! I wish I had watched this video at the start of summer... 😆 But I’ll do it next year! Thanks!

I’ve looking for ways to do this cheaper. This seems to be the best one I’ve seen built. I’m going to build this. Thank You.

Excellent! Going to try this in my carport. Thanks for the idea!

Great job! Love it! Only thing I would add is, either paint an L or use tape on the floor for your back tire and/or front tire or both to line up to when backing in to remove or install your top. That way you will be in exact same spot every time for the process. Taking the guess work out of the deal. We used to do that at Wawa stores to line up our side lift gates to the cooler bubble delivery door when delivering milk to the stores. Works like a charm! Great video! Good luck!

Great Idea. I’m going to use this winch for my Jeep over the weekend. Another way to do the wiring and clean up the mess is too leave all of the original winch wiring intact. Run it over to the wall or above the approximate location of the battery. Attach the 2 leads to the surface about 8” apart. Then utilizing a set of jumper cables. Attach one set of cables to the leads and then move the Jeep into position. Open the hood and then the cables to the battery and lift off the top. Once you’re done. Remove the jumper cables and throw them in the Jeep. Hope this makes sense. I’ll be posting a video of my setup over the weekend.

Excellent set up, big thankyou. .I power my winch with a jumper pack

I bought a 440 lb electric hoist at Harbor Freight and they give you a 20% coupon so I spent $71. Plugged right in to my garage door opener outlet. Mounted to my ceiling joist above . I already had some straps so yea definitely better than spending a small fortune for all those crappy gadgets out there. The top of a 2 door jeep only weighs about 145 lbs with the Freedom tops already pulled off.

Great idea, just got my first wrangler with a hard top. Definitely doing this!!

Brilliant! I’m going to do exactly the same thing!

Love it! This will be my system too! Thanks for the great detailed video!

This was SO SMART AND COOL🔥🔥🔥

My gawd! Hillbilly ingenuity at it's best! Good job!

Great idea sir!!! I just lifted my hard top today and it was a breeze!! Thank you!

I’m impressed sir! Thank you, I’ll be visiting harbor freight soon. 🙂

Thanks for the idea. Got a little project this weekend. Fall season. Jeep season. 👋

Pretty awesome! Well done!

Love it!! Going to install one in my garage in a few weeks!!

Amazing. I've been looking for a solution for removing and storing my hard top. This is genius. And also has the aggregate value of not occupying floor or lateral space. I have a one car garage and "This is the way". Thank you Sir. Jeep on!!

Thanks for posting this, it’s given me a few fresh ideas for hoisting Jeep tops, roll bars, and tubs in my garage.. I fortunately have an i beam..

Nice set up man. Thanks

Brilliant piece of ingenuity, well done sir!

This man is a genius, i did the same setup but instead of the exrension cord to jumper cables, i bought 12 foot 6 gauge jumper cables and spliced it directly to the winch, over all super easy and effective!!

Great video. One idea on re-installing your hard top - mark the center of your tires so you know where to line up your car. That might save a little time.

All that I can do ...is smile !! Thank you sir !!!

Good job. Thanks for the video.

You can get a system like that already made and kitted...for about $600‘s!!!! Great Jury rigging (Or is it Jerry rigging ‘cause it’s so cheap?). Good thinking and wonderful Southern charm, to boot! Jeep on!

Sir, that was simply magnificent.

Fantastic idea. THANK you for sharing

A country boy, will survive! Great work.Im off to harbor freight

That's not jury riggin it's ingenuity. This kind of thinking is exactly what keeps things moving forward and gets things done. Someone had to jury rig before anyone invented anything. "Need" is the mother of invention.

Best KZfaqr I’ve came across by far

Very nice. I will borrow some of these ideas for my hardtop removal.

You just saved me a ton of money mate! I am going to set this up in my garage for my Wrangler :-)

Just what I been looking for!!! Love love love it!! Thanks! Subbed!

Awesome! May just do this for mine. Well done!

Great idea, works perfectly.

Nice Job - Thanks for the great video idea!

Great Job!! Going to do this! Thanks!

This is genius! Absolutely love it!

Brilliant idea. I’m going to harbor freights this next weekend

Just picked up my manual JL Sport yesterday, same color as yours. Gonna hook this system up in a few months when it gets warmer out. Thanks and great idea w the tie downs to avoid wind (or kids) moving it around

This is almost exactly what I was looking for!

Great job!!! I believe I’ll be heading to harbor freight soon

Thanks for the upload. I am off to HF now.

Just seen this nice job try taking a board make it L shaped to go behind the rear tires and come up the drivers side tire where you can see it use it for your stopping point 👍

Brilliant!!! Thank you!!

This is something my grandpa would come up with good job man.... R.i.p Steve

Awesome idea

Nice job my friend. Thank you for this new idea.

Great video. Just picked up a gladiator and seems like a good solution for the top. Can even make it a little easier by just powering by plugging into the outlet in the back of the truck bed. Thanks!

Nice job thinking of doing same thing

Nice Jerry rig 👏🏻👏🏻 👍🏻👍🏻!

Nice set up

Pretty darn sweet idea

I love this just for the jerry rigging, like logically it all seems good, but it just fells really sketchy 😂😂

I just used the hand crank winch from a boat trailer with steel cable, but good rope would be fine and made up 4 short straps to go to the Topsy brand window hinge mount brackets and a strap with rings on it that goes across the top(inside). Clips on with small carabiners. Attached the winch to the wall, a couple pulleys, one on the wall above the winch, the other to the ceiling. No wiring or electrical anything. I have less than $50 in it all.

You sir are a genius!

pretty slick there bud

Amazing! I love what people create when thier seems to be expensive options, so really that's limiting! Not your idea! I made a similar one for my 2 door tj and when I had to transfer my winch to my house I wasn't sure about the weight neither because of thier well built rafters in thier garage, so I will have to test my system in the summer and see if how I added extra supports in the attic will be enough? Jeeps are the best vehical made!

great idea, thank you!

Genius! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 thanks for sharing!

Smart man! I’m going to do this!

Very Nice Not sure I would trust a couple of lag bolts to a floor joist for support, but I can see running something a bit more substantial to hold the weight. Thanks for sharing... gives me a good idea on what to do.

I made one from this video, i bought a wench from harbor freight for 50 bucks, it works great!!

Thank you. Just saw that in the description. Just back from HF.

ahh i wish i had seen this last week before i did it all with ratchet straps and was a PAIN...will be redoing it for sure.

Great job . worth the investment

Nice set up, Sir.

Genius!

great video ..thanks

That looks exactly like my 2014 JKU, same color and I think same rims.

Awesome thank you very much you save me a lot of money

Out Standing...That was Great

Nice setup! I'm just envious that you have a garage to put your Jeep in. lol

Nice.

Love it!

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 great idea 💡

Definitely a big money saver that’s for sure.

Good job!!

Awesome

Genius

Great video. Curious what you did to the straps to secure the loops so they won't unravel? A specific type of knot?

You should put something behind your back wheels before you leave so you have a gauge on where to back up to when you come back. 👍🏻

I used the electric hoist from HF and it only cost $15 more. No need for the weird battery hookup. Also the straps won’t hurt the weatherstripping.

Awsome job.wouldnt it b easier to use a jump pack rather than lift the hood? Great idea.i have 2010 jeep since new and me and my 2 boys change it out manualy every season.we run convertable top and no door most all summer.its garage kept.and when it rains, wife uses my pickup.have fun

This is a great idea, good job! My JKU also has the 12V cigarette lighter plug in the rear. I’m thinking I could do this and pull 12V DC right from the rear outlet.
