- 1978 CJ7 4.2L Comp Cam & valve train, MC2100 carb, MSD ignition, Dana 30 front, T18 trans, Dana 20 txfr, AMC 20 rear.
For many years it was me begging the wife, or the last couple if I can catch my teenage son, to get someone to help me take the hardtop of the CJ. It was never easy, and then for a while I was using a Harbor Freight movers dolly to store it on, I tried ro make a stand from PVC pipe from directions I found on the interwebs, but it was super ugly sitting outside and you still had the walk the top over and gently place it on there so it didn't fall over.
While researching a hoist set-up (that probably won't work in my 8" tall garage anyway), I found this thing;

On thier Amazon store it says they have not tested it on a CJ7 top, but it looks like it would fit. The problem, it's $750![Grimacing face :grimacing: 😬](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f62c.png)
So, what do you all have, what do you use, and what do you think about the RollNJack?
