I “modified” an engine block hoist for my 69,
Likely do the same for the new one.
Much cheaper and multi use.

Similar to my Jeeps, I plan to simply remove the hard top with another person in the spring and replace it in late fall. I made a rolling cart for the hardtops out of a pair of moving dollies, a 2x4 and a thick towel for padding and they work great for about $30.

The bummer about the Bronco is the dual top that I ordered isn’t available so I modified my order to the MIC hard top for now - it will remain installed until the soft top is available or I decide on an AM solution. If I am fortunate enough to get my Bronco before the fall I will likely just leave the hard top on until spring 2022...

I'm sure the usual suspects will come up with something. Lange Originals, TopLift Pros, Harken, Smittybuilt, etc.

I am going to use a kayak lift or two depending on weight. They can hold 100 lbs so if I need to double them up I will. I have 12 foot ceilings in my garage so I will have plenty of height.

Ended up ordering a Harken Hoist. Will see how it goes. If it seems not to be working well, will look at TopLift. But, I want the hardtop up and out of the way of my shop tools. Will update with install pics (and pics of the top hanging in space after I take it off the first time!)

I am fortunate in that I have a high ceiling above where my Bronco will park and a ceiling lift will be one thing I want to add. Your install pic's and photos will be greatly appreciated.

Topliftpros as others have said are very reliable the are however costly. This is a youtube for simple DIY top removal and I've even used a cheaper comealong ratchet hoist as opposed to electric wench
