Hi,
Has anyone designed a quik release for the Kargo Master Kongo (congo) cage?
I'm looking to buy the rack, but want a faster way of getting it up to put the soft top down. Two 3/4" bolts ain't fast IMO.
I was thinking hitch pins in the front loop bar. Any other ideas?

 

bump for the weekend crowd.

 

Im thinking of doing the same thing...my garage is a low ceiling so I need a quick disconnect of some sort....

 

FYI, I contact Kargo Masters to see if they had any thing like this in the pipeline. According to them, the Government Safety gurus won't allow such a design for a rack. Too bad, it would have been cool to disconnect behind the front bar and leave it in place with some added light tabs. I'm still trying to think up ideas of How I could mod this myself, but I'm no welder.

 

I'm thinkin about replacing the two 3/4 bolts with two big pins with holes in the sides....if that makes sense....not the cotter style but similar...

 

Here's mine, but I only did something for the front half.

 

Cool idea,
I ended up going with a different brand which got me all the things I required:

A marine clevis pin could also work well. I have a Kargo Cage on order and was going to use these pins in the front to make it easier to put the top down on the fly.

I will send photos after I rig.

 

Not sure if you have a 4dr or 2 but I don't need to detach at all to do my soft top I have a 2dr

 

That's good to hear. I hope it works for the 4dr, too. I haven't put the roof back on since I bought it back in '07, but I'm moving soon to a place that rains a lot. I have no idea how the roof goes on, or if I can find all the parts...
