Hi All!
My son (8) and I installed the SmarterHome Hard Top Lifter today. It took about 3 hours to make sure measurements were right and to get it all level. I really quite like it now that I got it level. Please note that the instructions of where to install the pulleys is a STARTING POINT and ended up lifting mine VERY angled (like 45*!!). It was quite disconcerting. I also scratched the PPF I just had put on my rear roll bar :-(. Ill have it redone at some point, glad it wasn't the paint!
My only real tip is to get the top off the Bronco manually.... and adjust the pulley locations while the top is on the ground. Do not try and pull it straight off the Bronco with the recommended locations for the pulley - it came off 45* angled, and scratched my rear roll bar.
I would recommend it! Just learn from my mistakes....
