Weight of hard-top
I'm curious if anyone knows the weight of the rear section of an unlimited hard-top. I am getting ready to build my hard-top storage for spring time ( i am sooo ready for my soft-top again). I'm using everyone's ideas on this site and trying to make my own system to fit my garage and leave open floor space. Depending on the weight of the rear section of the top, i don't know if i am going to hang it from the ceiling of mount it on the wall. The dolley on the floor is out of the question for my situation.
Thanks for any responses.

Really? I've never weighed it, but my son and I have removed it several dozen times. Each of us handling 75 pounds of very awkward weight seems a bit high. I won't speculate a guess, just that it does seem high. Heck, maybe I'm just stronger than I thought!

That does seem a bit high. My wife and I can take it off pretty easily, and I'm sure she can't loft that much.
I only have a two door but I wouldn't think the little bit extra for the unlimited top can't be that much.

Not to hijack, but does anyone have video or pictures of them removing the hardtop. Last summer, I only removed it a few times and thought to myself that there's gotta be an easier way. I've read the writeup but they don't show pictures of where to stand to take it off. My fiance has a bad back, so I want to be sure that we're doing it the best possible way to reduce her chance of more injury.
I will be building a garage hoist soon so it might not be a big issue but in the meantime...
Thanks.
