Looks like a little adjustment to the front cable and it would be perfect. Still much better than my old Jeep lift’s I’ve had in past.RX the package today w/ the extra parts for the 2-door.
At first I was a little frustrated that I still could not get the plate to line up w/ the hole for the pin. I called and spoke to Carter; he said they drilled out those holes to 1/2" so I took a step bit and opened them up to 1/2" - They fit pretty snug but I am happy with it.
Proceeded to install the remaining parts on the ceiling.
What I did was installed the hardware to the roof to get my marks on the ceiling.
Once the ceiling gear was mounted, installed the hardtop part about 4' off the ground, leveled it up. Once i had it attached to the hardtop I had to get a little more slack out - so don't tighten all the nuts just yet!
Here is the top off the Bronco, just a little lean - but I bet with a little more tweaking, I can get it level - just ran out of steam and time. Also wondering if i put the front tops on, if it will level out some more.
Took a little drive, parked it back in the garage and lowered the top back on, pretty slick.

Thanks for adding this information. From what I can tell so far, the system is somewhat adjustable. I've been going back and forth on a DIY system with the $100 hoist from Amazon, but I would prefer to eliminate the straps altogether, so this one seems to do that. I also like the idea of the metal braces that use the same placement as the rooftop cross bars. That seems to be a robust part of the rooftop, especially since the top is only about 80lbs (plus the front panels if you store them on the lift).RX the package today w/ the extra parts for the 2-door.

I really like the TopLift Pro, but a THOUSAND DOLLARS??? Oof!
Put mine up today. No major issues. I moved the front tube out a little more than the 1.5" specified, seemed like it was putting a lot of pressure on the weatherstripping at 1.5".
How’s the tilt when it’s up off the bronco? I need to still adjust mine so the a$$ end isn’t lower than the front. Need to find that sweet spot, but I don’t mind lowering it and finding the pins / holes in the back first before the front engages the pin / holes
Finally got around to installing today. For the life of me I cannot get the second bracket in far enough in order to insert the lock-pin.How’s the tilt when it’s up off the bronco?

As for the front tube, I left if at 1.5 and haven’t seen any issue w the weather stripping. Here is a pic with the top lowered just now after a drive.

How did you get yours so level when it’s at the top?Adjusted for a slight tilt to the rear. I need to move my pulley bracket, wants to twist a bit up high.
I used a step bit and drilled the holes out a little. It’s still a tight fit but did not want slop when the pins were in.
