I built this. Got the idea from a member here. Back up to it, slowly pick up and slide it on until it is half way on, get out slide it the rest of the way. Takes longer to take the 8 bolts out than it does to remove the top.

 

Been thinking about building one of these this weekend. I would love a hoist setup, but unfortunately only have a metal.carport. This rack is about my best option.

 

Built one myself thanks to your post an the idea from others! Sure does take the stress out of my help dropping it haha.

 

I almost always remove mine alone. I simply open the back window, close the tailgate, and slide/shimmy the top onto my head and balance it with my hands. For now I set it down onto some wood pieces so it's not directly on pavement. Pretty safe as long as you take your time and make sure that you don't rush putting it back on otherwise you are more than likely going to crack a tail light, or chip the top.

The hardest part (in my opinion) is the transition from carrying it on your head/hands and shifting it to my back so I can kneel to set it down. After a few tries it becomes 2nd nature, but at first you might feel awkwardly out of control
