Got the canopy off my truck

[70charginglizard]

Hey guys,
Well I finally found some modivation today to get my butt out to the garage and install this garage pulley lift system today to pull off and store my canopy from my truck for the summer. First time I've had it off since I bought the truck.

It's a pretty cool system that was relivively easy to install. Got it from e-bay for 130 bucks.

I really like it because it allows me to pull the top off all by myself and fits up towards the roof of the garage real nice and still allows enough room for me to drive in right underneath it.
Now my truck can look like a truck. 

Some pics for ya's

cool system and cool truck but i think you got riped off, cant you buy most of the stuff needed to do something like that for waaaay less at a local hardware store?

If it saves you from getting a hernia, it's worth it.
I made something similar to store some spare hoods out of the way, works great.

Yeah, I probably did get ripped off but it was pretty simple and straght forward. Basically I just pulled it out of the bag hooked it up, made some small adjustments and it was ready to go. Thats why I bought it. I thought about trying to put one together for myself but I had visions of lines getting all tangled together and a really bad vision of one side falling apart and the canopy swinging over and smack into my charger on the other side of the garage and that pretty much so convinced me to get a kit made by a profesional.
