Need a hand lifting a hardtop onto my CJ-5

Post by UNIMOG-GUY »

While my wife makes a great partner there are somethings she just can't help me do. Is there anyone who would be willing to give me a hand (either today 12-18 or tommorrow 12-19) lifting my CJ-5 hard top onto the back of my CJ-5? Then I have to mark the 8 holes take the top back off set it on the ground and drill the holes and then put the top back on and bolt it down. I've got a couple of beers in the fridge. Oh and don't worry about the weather the top and jeep are in my garage.

I think most everyone has gone home besides Will and myself and we will both be working during those hours.

Don't be a whimp, I removed and put on my Bronco top by myself several times :flipoff2:

When I bought it I loaded it by myself. But I'd rather not mess up my back (which you only get one of) when I could just ask for help. I'm not sure who texted me while I was at work but I appreciate you offer to help.
