Default hard top hoist
Anyone have any recommendations for a hoist for a 2013 JKU?

I use the Lange Hoist a Top and I love. It is a bit expensive, but I need no help swapping tops. Well worth it.

I'm happy with my Racor lift. It also provides additional storage....

Default Up, up and away!
X2 on the Harken Hoister.

Hand operation lends a touch and control you won't get from an electric winch. I've used Harken blocks on sailboats since the 70's. If they can hold up to marine envionment, they will probably last forever in my garage.

Whats with all this talk about hoists? Every time I have taken my top off I have been by myself. No hoist. No bullshit. Just good balancing technique.
