Thanks for showing the mistake! (i.e. showing what you built before the pulleys). Incredibly helpful to see as someone who doesn't do this kind of things often. Also makes your end solution that much sweeter.

This is amazing and I love the production of the video. I just got a gladiator and arrived at the same conclusion. Being Canadian myself, I love that I can get everything in this video. Thanks for posting.

great idea. I don't like strap cranks bumping into the top. I'd use just straps long enough to match your plan. Very nice idea.
@stevedallas0073 ай бұрын
Great diy, i've buld something similar but because i'm too lazy i've used a manual crank instead of pulley and after a drill to pull the strops, make 4 knot to avoid over rewind and hit the roof with the rear window (be patient of my bad english i'm from italy)

In retrospect, with your addition of the pulley system, would you still incorporate the come-along/ratchets in the design? Thanks for the great video.
@billfox69047 ай бұрын
Yes, they still make for the most convenient assembly. Since they're adjustable, you don't need to do any cutting or measuring.

i used a block and tackle for mine. Bought all of the materials from my local TSC. I just hung from the center and have 4 ropes with hooks that go to the rear of the hard top and then to the underside of the roof overhang (part over the driver's head). That provided good spots and the block and tackle has a brake on it to prevent it from falling on it's own. All in, i probably have about $200.00 US.

Any issues with the weight difference between the front of the roof vs. the back where the window is located.
@billyrayvette8 ай бұрын
Nope, the weight doesn't need to be distributed evenly for this to work. Each corner only needs to be heavy enough to sit snugly on the hook. For this particular hard top, there's still plenty of weight on the front hooks.

@Aech4010 ай бұрын
Great idea! I’m planning on doing the same. Only question I have is you only used two screws to hold the 2x4’s in the Joists? Will that support everything else?
@michaelmartinez5916Ай бұрын
There's more than two screws. If I showed myself driving every screw, the video would be long and boring.

@denman0621Ай бұрын
Not to be an arse or skeptic but, is there anything keeping the front hooks from slipping forward and dropping the top?
@NaturallyStoned4208 ай бұрын
There's a lip on the inside of the top that stops them from being able to slide off the front.
@SpinningWrenches8 ай бұрын
Same thought. I wouldn't trust it. I would rather see something that captures the entire top like the Harken. $100 more but makes me feel better.

How long are your 2x4s? I must have missed it
@amymichael669419 күн бұрын
Doesn't matter, they just need to be long enough to reach the corners of the top. 6ft would be plenty.

Only one problem with this setup...When you lowered the top back onto the Jeep, you forgot to bolt the top to the Jeep (joking)!!! Hahahaha...Great idea & excellent video!!!

Seems like ratchet straps are not necessary.
