I looked around the forum and found the 2001 postings that xviper posted but the pictures are not accessible now. I just bought a hardtop and have a lot of space above my head for storage and to facilitate installation. Any pictures of what has been done by crafty s2k owners/operators?

 

I have this one set-up from harbor freight:

I stoped using it after maybe the second time ... I was just too afraid something was going to fail and had dreams of finding the hardtop on the floor destroyed ...

I am checking this one out at the moment ... it looks to be of better quality:

or you can buy the straps and rig something yourself:

Hope it helps, Joaquin

 

joaquin, thanks for the info. I put a heavy duty eye screw into a truss in the ceiling of my garage then bought a pulley hoist at Sportsman's Warehouse (for hoisting game up into a tree) for about $15. I rigged up some webbing that holds the hardtop and hooked it to the hoist. I then hoisted it up out of the back of my truck, then drove the S2k under it, then lowered it on. It all worked out.
