Reviews for Lange Originals 014-SIM Hoist-A-Top Simple 76-18 Jeep CJ7 & Wrangler
Bought this and installed it. Installation, if you take the time to do it right will take between 2 to 4 hours. Lange Originals has an install video on YouTube which explains everything to include where the crank mounting bolts go to avoid interference with the wheels and why each pulley has weld spots on the back (hint: on purpose). My setup had the pulleys in line with the ceiling rafters so I had to secure 2x6's to three rafters for my installation. If you follow install instructions and video, this will go up with no issues. Instructions say the gap between the two upper pulleys need to be 34" apart, I think that's a typo and is suppose to be 44" apart as that put one pulley directly over the rear window lift point and one pulley over the front hardtop holes where the straps are used. My setup lifts straight up at both points. Additionally, even being a hand crank (which can be slow for precision movements when lowering), you can use a socket and drill to raise/lower the crank like a motorized lift. No need to spend money on the motorized style if you own a drill. Hope this helps, uploaded 4 pics of my setup.
One of the best products I have ever bought for my jeep. Installed is easy, raising at Lowering the top no problem. Well worth the price!!!
It is really awesome to remove the top without soliciting the help of friends. The top is hanging all summer while the soft top is on. I recommend it.
excellent easy simple a monkey to do this
Easy to use.
I can remove my top by myself in about 10 minutes. I can enjoy my Jeep more now, and not dread removing the top.
Very good
Works as advertised. Installation instructions were easy to follow
Great product easy to use and install. Be sure to measure twice and things will go a lot faster. Also I found with the back hook needs to hang down near the factory break light to lift the top level.
Works great just had to add to Polly's and more cable because of my garage setup I had to set it up different
