Default Any cheap ways to remove hard tops?

Does anyone have any quick ideas on removing hard tops without the help of a second set of hands? I know there are some people using ratchet straps and eye hooks. Any pictures would be appreciated.

I did...it just gave me a phone book of "hoist for hard top" information. I just thought I'd narrow down the search by using "straps".

Too bad there isn't a write-ups area to store threads like this.

Oh, wait... There's even an index at the top of it...

Four straps and eye hooks. That's all I'm looking for...NOT a freakin' phone book of winches, pulleys and 2x4's. Come on people!
