Default Hard Top Removal Wall Mount

I guess it is a good problem to have, but the Jeep will not fit in the garage with a 4" lift and 37" tires. I would like to think I could build something, but would like some direction.
Goal:
Mount something to the side of my shed
Removable (want to unbolt as to not irritate the neighbors)
One person operation

My biggest question is whether I can build out of wood. Welders are not a common tool in my house and am unsure whether the hard top weight is too much.

Thanks,
JKevbo

Post Wood lifting arm

You should be able to build a hinged arm out of 2x6s that when not in use would rotate flat against the side of the shed. One thing you should remember you will have to have something on the other side of the wall to support the weight also. It would also need a knee brace. Rember it will only have to reach half way across the top, the shorter the better.

Considering your hard top only weighs about 100 lbs. I would think building something out of wood wouldn't be a problem.
