Would this jeep system work for an Early Bronco?

I have to say that is really well conceived. With the EB tailgate, you probably can't get in close enough to get the right center of gravity. I picture it being front heavy. The structural integrity of the sheet metal would be another concern. It is very cool though.

And if you have a family cage it wouldn't work.....

Check this one out, need a chain fall or an electric hoist but that's what I am going with. https://ironhorsebronco.com

I emailed to see if they will just sell the EZ Lift Brackets from ironhorsebronco

Wow, that was quick! Neil will sell just the EZ lift brackets for $75 + $12~ for shipping.

Toplift: they make a version with another gear to support heavier tops like a Bronco.

I built a wood caster cart that I can lower the top onto and then flip it up on to the liftgate similar to the IronHorse....the problem. My garage has a low ceiling and I didn't that into account. I don't have enough clearance to make the flip.

now I'm thinking of reworking it so it flips over to the side versus the liftgate. I just don't know if there is enough structural integrity in the top for that, I'm worried about flex and said flex breaking the side window.

Can you roll the cart outside flip it up then roll it back in? just a thought.

bolt the top to the wood then it will stay in place. gotta have the lift gate down and closed so gravity doesnt try to force out of square.

no, coming in under the raised garage doors deletes even more clearance.

I'll have to think about that approach. I am using a come along to "tie it down" to this caster I built.
