My first time taking the 2 door hardtop off by myself

[NorthShoreBronco]

This weekend I took my top off all by myself for the first time. If you're still waiting for you bronco and wondering how hard/easy it is. I made a video doing it.

And if you want to see me put it back on.... here's today's video of me doing just that.

Didn't like the video? I'm open to critique? too long for what it was?

The video was fine. As a reluctant soft top orderer it shows just how much work removing that thing is. MIC looks a 1000 times better. But once it’s off you better keep it that way for a while to make it worth the effort.

Keep in mind it was my first time. I might make another video with power tools and have my wife help.

My wife is limited in her ability to help lift. I reached out to freedom jack and tried to work with them to develop their lift for the Bronco, but the owner eventually said it couldn't be adapted due to the position of the roll bar. I already have the HF hoist, so that seemed like a great option.

I may continue to work on something similar or just do a ceiling hoist in the garage.

ETA: thanks for the video. I have been pondering whether I could do this myself. I'll probably hold off and wait for a lift or help.

It's not all that heavy really. My plan is to make a wooden rack at the hight of my bronco with some carpet on top, then I can just lift and slide it on.

Yeah, I was waiting to see how exactly you were going to lift it off the ground by yourself. It's one thing to set something bulky down. It's another thing to lift it up.

Thanks Steph! I’m really enjoying your videos and am glad to watch and learn from you as you progress on your Bronco journey.

Probably a 2-person job with my biceps.

I enjoy watching your Bronco content. Keep up those videos. It will be a long winter.

Thank you for the video! Especially for those of us who will remove our tops predominantly by ourselves most the time! You mentioned owning jeeps, and I was curious about your opinion on weight comparison of the Bronco Top vs. your jeep top. Thanks so much, and congratulations on your Bronco

20 minutes by yourself on the first go is great. I agree with “definitely a two person job”, though! With help that is 10 minutes tops, which is awesome for those of us who will want to take it on and off in the warmer weather.

Thanks for the video.

thanks for the vid. I liked it , very informative
I have a 10ft ceiling in my garage going to look for a or make a system to lift it with a crank winch or a power winch and hold it up on ceiling.
