You could do the table thing as mentioned before. Or you could make it a ramp so you have gravity helping you (to take it off). Then to put it back on you could jack up the end so gravity helps you put it on as well.
Also, it really isn't that heavy, just cumbersome. Hope you figure something out, because if you don't take the top off, it isn't worth having.

I'm actually thinking of building a rolling cart with locking casters. Attached to the cart will be a ramp I can just slide the top down into the cart. Probably wrap the whole cart and ramp in some kind of soft carpet to prevent damage.
The other advantage to this is that even if I lift my jeep the angle of the ramp is adjustable so I wont have to retool when that happens.

Here's a few non-hoist solutions I found using search (still can't find the one I mentioned earlier with the wheels & rollers; it may have been on another forum?)
