I'm going to rig up some kind of contraption to pull the body off. It will later be used so that I can remove/install the hardtop by myself. Kinda like the Jeep guys do.

Your still an asshole. You knew what I meant.

Blake - I'm interested in what you come up with for the top. I've been debating about some way to pull the top up to the top of my garage for storage. Then when I need to put it back on; I back under it and lower it back down. As for now, it is sitting in the bed of my old truck.

I'm just going to use a system of pulleys and a hand winch to get it raised up. Since I have storage space for it I'm just going to raise it up enough to drive out from under it, then lower it back down to the ground. Not sure I would trust it just hanging there. But I've seen Jeep guys do it with their hard tops.

Biggest thing I'm not crazy about. Loosing that head space in the garage and letting it hang there. Wonder how well it would stand up against the wall? Anyone have experience on that?

Yes I am and yes I did, but some dipshit will read that and think they have a unibody like a Jeep jk...lol

My friend had a rack built behind his house that he could back up to and just slide the top of his blazer onto. It worked real good.

I call bullshit. But I like the idea. It would be alot easier than a pully/rope system and wouldn't loose any valuable space indoors.

Yeah I have seen those too but I don't like the idea of storing it outside unless I have to.

True, just giving you an option. The rack thing could work inside too, just use the bottom for shelves or something.

I would make sure and strap it down. I would hate to see what is or isn't left of it after a good thunderstorm flips it across the neighborhood. Otherwise I'm thinking this one over.

Just put the top outside.. I kept the top of Clyde outside for over a year.. my dogs loved having a nice shade spot. Plus they played "king of the mountain" on top of it all the time. When I traded the rig we put the top right back on. No problems.
