Re: topless

I built a simple system in the garage so I can remove/install the top myself. I put 4 eye bolts in the ceiling. Then I ran some rope through the holes drilled in the ends of 2x4s. Ran the rope backup through the eye bolts and tied a loop in the end of the rope about 6" short above the 2x4 when it is sitting on the bedrails. I can lift each corner of the top and 2x4 when they are laying between the top and the bedrails and put the loop in the rope over the end of the 2x4. This lifts the top off the bed about 2-3" and I can drive out from under it.
