Removing and installing a postal top in one piece ?

[Yayant]

Any one out there taking a postal top on and off in one piece? If so ,how? Winch, pulley...4 friends and some beer? I’d rather not take it apart and reassemble over and over. I’d like to be able to take it on and off throughout the year.

I did the 4 friends method the first time but none of them are as excited as I am to try it again. : )

It seems to me that Jscherb installed some lifting eyes on his, and was able to hoist it up in to his rafters, and drive out from underneath it.

All of his photos are long gone though, so I could be remembering it wrong.

I'm hoping to do something like that... once mine is put together, I'm hoping I never have to separate the top and sides again.

Buzzcutter added lifting points to his top.
