i did the same thing with my cj7 for 12 years !! off in april,on in november...getting too old for that kind of workout now !!..sold the cj7 and bought a brand new 2005 wrangler with a soft top !!..hard tops are much quieter than soft tops, but hard tops are the best in snowy winter weather.BTW, your jeep looks great !!..nice wheels&tires.
Hi, Great video thanks! I am planning on buying a jeep with a soft or hardtop, i prefer the hard top but was wondering if I could do the installation on my own. I was thinking of doing what you did get under it and balance it in place. You proved that I can do it on my own.
Ok hard tops are nice and all but I like the fact tht with a soft top u can pull over on the side of the road and take the top off and off it starts raing u can put it back on
@lucas07770 ya I ended up selling my hard top and buying a soft top and a rear bumper with a a tire carrier. Easy to put the windows on and off and if you go on trails its easier to prevent damage.
Oh Dear, i really wish these models were avail. in egypt, we only get to buy the 2011 wrangler only which can cost 50,000 dollars (nearly 30,000$ more than it's standard price in the U.S)

I will try that next time I am putting mine back on, but first how did u take it off by yourself? Same way? Im always waiting for a buddy to come over and help me...dont have a garage for a pulley system
@travishurley820 ya pretty much the same way just turned facing the rear window. once you figure out where to place your hands to balance it its really not that hard. just dont drop it lol
@travishurley820 i just took mine off by my self yesterday. just inch it to the edge of the jeep then get under it and lift same is kid did. it is pretty heavy but if u have a good build to u its not to bad its only like 100 or so pounds
I did the same thing this past weekend. I waited for ever to take my hard top off thinking I would drop it due to the weight. It wasn't nearly as heavy as I thought it would be. Piece of cake. I was a bit slower and more cautious I wall admit. Might be a pain for a shorter guy, but I'm 6'3 220LBS. I set the top on a couple stacks of chairs so I wouldn't strain my back lifting it back on. Do you have those little plastic setting pins on yours?
What size lift do you have?
