I have the Harken hoister from JustJeeps. Works fantastic, I leave it hanging on it all summer with no worries.

I decided to go with the Racor lift for several reasons. Although it is not designed for lifting a hard top it is more than capable. It supports 250 lbs (when installed properly). It has a 4ftx4ft wire cage (shelf). In the summer I toss the front sections of the hard top onto the cage. I then back the Jeep into the garage, strap the top to the hoist and lift it up to the ceiling. I then made a shelf to put under the hard top. This gives me more support (although not needed) but it gives me a place to store other things I have laying around. In the winter time this wired cage gives me a place to store the soft top. You can crank it up by hand or attach it to a 1/2 drill (adapter included) which is what I do. I purchased it on Amazon.com for $110.00. Free shipping in the US. Since I live in a border city I just drove over and picked it up from UPS rather than pay duty fees.
