As I’m waiting for my new Jimmy to arrive I’m checking out various ways to remove and store the top. I found this site below and it’s a cool design but they unfortunately don’t list the weight capacity. Just figured that I’d share in case there are others thinking about the same thing.

 
I'm curious how much that tiny top weighs, and you know, why those guys need a lift... At first glance, it seems like the top is still very much in your way.

I suspect that the reach of that thing is not enough to reach the center of gravity on a Blazer/Jimmy top. I think it's easy to justify $500 on an accessory for a $60k vehicle, as long as you don't think about how you could achieve the same thing with some quick sketches and a $100 trip to the hardware store. Personally, I like ceiling mounted lifts so that top is completely out of your way for as long as you want.
