Jeep: Put Hardtop On Solo >

I have put a hard top on an old Ramcharger I had by myself.... a Wrangler
shouldn't be impossible. I'm 5'11", 165lbs.

I wouldn't say it was impossible to do but you could seriously injure
yourself doing it. The only way to do it yourself is to put it on your back
and try to get up on the jeep to put it in place. This could really hurt
your back. I use the hoist a top it makes it a lot easier.

I got the top up on the vehicle and then while on my hands and knees in
the bed moved the top into position while it rode on my back. It
actually worked out ok.

I install/remove the hardtop on my '02 TJ by myself twice a year - once in
the spring and once in the fall.

I have a large shelf in my garage that's 58" high. I remove the rear seat,
back the TJ up close to the shelf, then get inside the rear and after
un-bolting everything, lift the hardtop off the Jeep with my back and
carefully slide it onto the shelf.

I'm 6' tall and of regular build.
