After years of having to have a buddy meet me at my house and help me remove the hardtop from my Jeep I decided it was time for a change. I bought this winch to raise, lower, and store my Jeep top near the ceiling during the summers. The winch was extremely easy to install, just put a couple of parts on it, mount it, and plug it in, easy. This winch is heavy, but high quality; it lifts the Jeep top effortlessly. I'm happy with my purchase, and while my use for the winch might be light. I am positive this winch could lift a lot more weight. Another thing I like about this particular winch is the wireless remote that it came with! Very convenient.
