Re: Took the top off for the first time.
What methods do you guys use for removal (ie. how many guys and how much beer)?

Re: Took the top off for the first time.
I'd also like to know how many people you need to take the topper off. Anyone ever made a lift inside their garage to take it off and store it up against the ceilling. Photo's of such things would be nice.

Re: Took the top off for the first time.
Nice Blazer!
I remove my top myself. I have four ropes hanging from the ceiling of my garage. I slide a 2x4 under the front and one under the back. There are blocks on the 2x4's the keep the top from moving in and out. Then I lift one side of one 2x4 and tie the rope to it. I go to the next one and do the same until I have all four ends up. Then I drive out.

Re: Took the top off for the first time.
It only took me and my brother to take mine off. I don't plan on putting mine back on either. I do plan on getting a hard top and bed cover though. You guys help me round up a half-top, there has got to be one out there somewhere.
Thanks, Kade |

Re: Took the top off for the first time.
I have 3" spindles with one wrap cut off the spring, and what was supposed to be 6" springs in the rear, but I think they are more like 5".
But I will have the air ride on pretty soon anyway. |

Re: Took the top off for the first time.
dont take this the wrong way, its jsut my opinion. If you are going to put a half top and a hard tonneau cover on there, just sell it and buy a truck.
