Was glad I still have my yj after driving my buddies jk rubicon
 
Attempted to install my new soft top...
Epic fail! I let it sat out in the sun for an hour before I tried putting it on, but its still way too tight I couldn't even get the header close to latching.

Then I started unpacking the windows...

I'm no engineer but.....
That window doesn't look right....
What brand soft top?
 

Bestop sailcloth replace a top
The date stamp on it is for a Friday... I guess quality control wasn't the greatest that day.

Decided to go ahead and put the soft top on (after getting mad at it Saturday)

I called Quadratec about getting the sail panel window replaced...

And then after about an hour or so with a razor knife I "fixed" the sail panel.

And stored the hardtop on the hoist I built.

Had my check engine light read after 2 days. I have a bad o2 sensor, according to the code. Precat. Got underneath to find it's exact location. Very far away from the ground; very far for my arms to reach. I am not looking forward to the attempt at getting this out.

Get it from the top. Borrow a O2 socket from orielly's to make life easier.
 
Well it was yesterday, but I put a new ignition coil and ballist resistor on the jeep and its up and running again...

Awesome Hardtop hoist and cart! I'm having a new garage built as we speak and was considering various ways of storage. I found my answer!

Thanks!

Yes Sir.... I have a a couple questions? I see you used pulley's in the one photo, do you have photos of the other side so I can see the total install? How hard is it to raise it up? I have a son in college who will be changing out his tops from time to time (me too for that matter) and may not have help.
 

Look back at post 369 I have a few more pics


Its pretty easy to raise up and it is a little slow lowering it.
I remove the top from the jeep myself by taking s strap to hold the platform to the spare tire and walk the top to the platform.
