How to Remove Your Hardtop with the Lange Originals Hoist-A-Cart Gen II for Jeep Wrangler JK & JL

[@hothondaguy]

i just picked up a used Hoist-a-cart version 1 for JK....and this one looks so much nicer and friendlier with the straps VS the Cables

[@Majorbanjo]

If you don't have garage or carport for overhead mounting of a top removal system then this is pretty much the best option

[@culley65]

Is there any downside to keeping the hardtop in the air after taking it off of the Jeep? Why lower it down to the ground?

[@nanoflower68]

How do you keep rear window from opening when tilting the top back. Mine pops open. This is a great product, by the way.

[@tracymcgrew7331]

Did you ever find an answer to your question? I’m having the same issue.

[@gernblansten684]

Blue painters tape

[@gman9525]

I like that much better than the original. I hope they make a conversion for the winch and straps.

[@adamray4020]

WOW.. buying this right now!

[@teamriskit]

Rob - remember the old 4 corner wood blocks we use to play on??? Do you have dimensions? 8x8x16 on 2x8x 24? seem small today?? Thinking 12x12x18 on 2x12x36 - Team Risk it!

[@rwagner1978]

Your videos are massively helpful! Thank you for doing such a great job.

[@wally9500242]

Was hopeful this was for a TJ

[@okanaganoverlanding2912]

Do you think you could us this to remove a Roof Top Tent off a jeep? And then lower it and remove from the hoist

[@mitchsargent5543]

Did you ever try this for a rooftop tent?! I want to use it for the same!

@@mitchsargent5543 Did you try it with a rooftop tent? How did it work?

[@mitchsargent5543]

@@robertsack257 After reading other reviews, I went with a different set up that’s a little more robust. My wrangler (ordered last NOV), still hasn’t arrived. Once it does, I plan on posting a vid on what I did for my set up!

[@robertsack257]

@@mitchsargent5543 I bought a Vestil 2 Ton Hoist. Arrives today. Has 104 inch height and 60 inch boom arm. I am hoping this will do the trick. Kind of overkill but was not much more than the 1 ton and you get an extra foot of length in the boom.

[@fullArmani]

right to my wishlist thank you rob

[@julioroman183]

I think getting a friend is so much easier. Lol.

[@Drake_Dimes]

Or a toplift pro

[@TucsonDude]

Just make damn sure he/she doesn't drop it or drag the set pins across your paint.

[@RoderickRoderick-tq3ge]

Will this Hoist work on a 1999 TJ Wrangler Sahara?

[@rogerkennedy761]

I just got one used for my 99 wrangler, do they make a back bracket for it?

[@redneck6pack]

How about one for the Gladiator JT

[@ctk3873]

Do you guys have a hoist to remove and install roof top tents?

[@JosueRodrigu3z]

If you opt to leave it hanging, do you run the risk of the sides bowing out?

[@jillianschenck4636]

How do you get the window to stay closed when tilting the top back for storage?

[@samuraisharp3]

Will there be retrofit parts to make this compatible with a Ford Bronco?

[@jje9551]

I wonder if my Barricade Removable Roof Basket will interfere with this hoist? In standing it up or the total weight of the roof itself ?

[@juancarlosdelvalle9219]

Where can i get one and whats the costs

[@timbeeman9576]

Can I leave the top up in the air? I dont have the room to store it in the down position.

[@Quadratec]

Sure, you could, but it takes up the same footprint when it's hanging as it does when lowered down and is definitely more secure that way for extended periods of time.

[@okanaganoverlanding2912]

What is the max height this would work on?

[@rogerkennedy761]

Do they make a back bracket that will fit my 99 wrangler tj ?

[@monicalangefeld4124]

Why won’t it work with 2005 2 door Wrangler

[@trmellish1]

Does this fold up for storage when not in use or it stays as is?

[@menakawickramarachchi4160]

Do guys deliver to Canada?

[@TucsonDude]

Can this lift actually pick the hardtop up from the ground?

[@Quadratec]

Yes it can!

[@tysonduquette1414]

not everyone has 20 foot ceilings - once off jeep how am i supposed to wheel that 7-8' tall contraption into my standard sized garage????? not thought out very well

[@loganharrison3841]

Sounds like your problem

[@percebu2]

Can you leave those bolts in position when putting the top back on? Or do you need to remove for proper sealing?

[@Quadratec]

Some people do leave them in, however it does use the front bolt hole of the hardtop, so I would suggest taking it out and replacing the factory bolts when reinstalling the hardtop.

[@malach1213]

Do they make one that will work on a CJ-7 hard top?

[@eihcirwhalen]

It's so expensive but so helpful

[@canadianmaple5053]

It's nice but there are still some more mechanical developments that can be done!!

[@stevep6108]

he said dropping your load hahaha

[@neostephens8980]

What a PITA this is.

[@cljb1074]

Sorry, but I've seen better.

[@bo77as66]

Harken Hoister. 1/4 the price and it doesn’t take up floor space.

[@TucsonDude]

Some of us don't to install an overhead hoist permanently.

[@snakegee157]

What a ridiculous long and complicated waste of time and money.

@@tysonduquette1414 Bad thing about that one is that it doesn't pick up off off the ground and it can't tilt the hardtop...unless I'm missing something.
