Thats a MBRP -JK/ 4dr rack and comes from Canada, checkout www.mbrp.com, my JK is in the website advertisement photos for the rack
Even though I haven't removed the hardtop yet, by using the j-hooks I attached to the bar part of the Racor hoist and the MBRP rack, lifting is swift and easy and will allow the hardtop to be lifted much higher (I tested it)

I just bought this lift and setup and I must say I REALLY LIKE IT!!!
I made one mistake when attempting to lift the hard top off the jeep with the hoist for the first time. I backed into the garage with the rear glass open and shattered it on the wall above the garage.
I thought it would be easier to already have the glass open instead of having to open the rear tire carrier when already in position so that's why I did it before backing the jeep out of the garage. I didn't realize that backin IN to the garage, having a slight incline, would slam the rear glass into the wall of the house. Ugh!

Great job. One question, is the crank towards the back of your top and if so is it hard to access? Just wondering if rotating the lift 90 degrees so the crank is actually to one side of the top would make it easier to access.
