I'm wondering what kid of electric hoist(s) are used. It may not be all that expensive. Definitely a cool factor there.

My friend said he used a single 800lb 110 winch on a snatched block to slow it down and decrease the winch load.

I will try to get some pictures of how it's rigged in his attic.

Take a look at the two sites below for electric hoist designs. I built a similar setup for removing/storing my hardtop and it works great.

Cool. I noticed some detail on the youtube page also. I was checking hoists at Northern Tool and Harbor Freight. They have them also. That portable Warn winch looks handy for use outside the garage too.

Am I crazy but thinking I could built something like this out of welded steel and use it for slightly heavier lifts. Like pulling the bronco body off.

I'm sure my wife will thank you guys for posting all of this information. ;D
