Get yourself a Harkin lift, or build your own from information available on this forum.

It is about 150 lbs. Not too badly heavy but the weight is a little awkward to handle.

Yea thats about it. I had this horrible memory of taking off my CJ top for the first time. By myself. Maybe thats where the difference was. Me and my friend got it off in like 10 seconds. lol. In fact, from that bad memory, I was pleasantly surprised. Also I was thinking I had to do it myself because I couldnt find anyone. Well he came thru in a pinch. So all is well. And now I wont freeze as much come winter-future. lol
