Hardtop poelieframe

The frame holds my Jeep's hard top solid with barely any sway when it's up near the ceiling. Bolting it to the joists took most of an afternoon, but now I can park underneath it without worrying.

Swapping to a hoist setup felt risky but this frame makes it simple — the pulleys glide smooth and my hard top sits level every time I raise it. Took maybe an hour to get it squared up on the joists, and now I can pull the roof off solo without needing a second pair of hands.

My garage ceiling finally has a purpose now that this frame holds my hard top steady while I work underneath. The pulleys glide smoothly enough that I can raise and lower it alone, which beats asking my neighbor for help every time.
