DIY Electric Lift for soft top / hardtop for $250

[Hatman]

Any chance to get some more pictures or parts list on this? I have a hard top and am looking at one of the preboxed options but would rather save the money and build myself.

I’m out of town right now so this is all I could find in photos. I know i use coated cable from Lowe’s and the pulleys I ordered maybe from Harbor Freight? The double pulleys are what the whole design started with and I worked out from there. The winch is from Amazon, I’ll try to get more details when I get back next week.

The pulleys are all from Grainger, winch from Amazon, and all other cables and hardware from Lowe’s. Here are links to some of the key components:

The cable that stretches from front to back is used to hold the middle panel of my hard top, then I stretch the 6’ tow straps under the rear section and hoist it all up together.
