I've been looking at the lange hoist but had a question. Having the hoist frame connect to the rear of the clamshell and then the front of the middle panel seems odd. Does this create pressure on the clamshell to middle panel joint? Seems like it would simply fold once you start lifting. I will admit I haven't had my top off yet so I'm not familiar with how those sections connect.

Same here - Top Lift Pro + Rockworx. Made the PVC door storage from this forum. All 4 top pieces off plus 4 doors off and all stowed in about 20 min.
Get a Top-Lift Pro... All of the engineered ideas on here are awesome, but this thing just works.

Nice write up, lots of useful information and innovation on everyone’s part. Makes be appreciative of our soft top though.
You’re my hero !!!I have a ceiling mounted winch and a power ratchet with the torx bit (far less likely to bust a window in a rush). My 2 door top goes on/off in 10 min or less. I leave the top hanging from the ceiling when not in use. I park underneath it when it’s off.

I took my rear top section off this spring and don't plan on putting back on till the snow flies. I have the ford tonneau cover and even though the rear is open I don't get any water inside. I've hod NO problems with the front three removable sections staying in place without the rear section at freeway speeds.
If I could find a rear canvas window for winter I would never put the rear section back on.

One of the first things I got, and makes the process a lot safer(for the windows) and extremely convenient.
I have them in red, they're awesome

I'm really looking for a fold-down soft top option for the 2 door. As nice as they've made it, removing the hard top is still too much of a PITA for me.

Made a hoist to lift the soft top off. Cost about $60 for 1/4 inch braided rope, 9 pulleys, 9 eye hooks, 3 ratch straps, and a 2x4.
What do you mean by this?

There are 10 holes in the body to mount a top on the 2-door. One of mine was partially cross threaded from the factory. Another one had way too much paint in it and was tight.
I took a M8 x 1.25 and hand tapped each hole to clean them out.
Noobie question, I pull my front panels off all the time on my 4dr. But for the life of me I can’t figure out how to easily pull the middle panel solo without dragging it or bumping it around. I’m 6ft, and can lift and maneuver it solo with easy once it’s off the truck…. But getting the top off….. any tricks I’m missing?
