Review on Lange Originals Hoist-A-Top Simple JL: Convenient Hardtop Lift and Storage for Jeep Wrangler JL (2 and 4 Door) by Rusty Heredia

This product works exactly as advertised. $150 for the entire system versus $400 for the lift mechanism. If you're just using a drill with an attachment instead of a handle, it works pretty much the same. And MUCH faster due to the low turn rate. Suspended from the 12-foot garage ceiling, and when fully raised, it almost completely clears my Wrangler's crossbars. It leans back slightly against the wall, but the step is quite small. REALLY love that the straps are padded and covered where they tie into the mounting holes and touch the painted top. Installation Recommendations: - Make sure the 3rd roller (closest garage door) is offset 1/2" - 3/4". from the DRIVER side in the middle - use your own screws for the pulley frames, the ones supplied with the kit are very easy for me to remove - have an iPad handy so you can watch and follow the install. The written directions are a bit confusing in places. Cut a small piece of flimsy rubber or fabric and place it between the glass mount and the painted top. When raising and lowering, use a drill to turn the crank instead of the crank. Floor to route all cables and adjust them to the correct length for proper weight distribution
