I salvaged this top from a 97' Dodge. Since I didn't have any machines to help me and I was working alone, it had to come apart on the spot.
Undid the tent from the inside bottom, removing a few hundred screws, then ground off the nuts protruding through the top. Then flipped the top on its back, that sucker is heavy.
Then removed the lifting mechanism. I was surprised that the whole frame was just bolted to the roof sheet metal and not even always to a cross rib.
I found out too late why it's best to use a come- along instead of a ratchet strap to undo the lifting springs.....no one or anything got hurt.
Now I have a winter project waiting for me.
