Who are you using for shipping? FexEx, UPS, or are these coming truck freight?

How easy is it to remove the rack completely for hard top removal.

I have a hoist system in a storage unit for changing tops. Racks that rotate back won't work with the hoist system.

Thanks,
D

It would not be too difficult to remove, just the four bolts up front, then unbolt at the pivot points and have a team to help move. I will be putting the hardtop back on around fall and that is what I am going to do.

Got mine on the 25th, had a neighbor kid sign for it, then rushed home to put it on after work. By portable flood lights, had it on by 11pm with the help of neighbors (and a case of beer). Nicely packed and Not too bad to put on, My back posts slid a bit from center so will fix later on. Really solid. Definite difference in the wind noise on the freeway, but you have to expect that. Thanks Dave!

Thumbs up

This rack is the best! The construction is flawless and it even comes with SS hardware. I have zero complaints about mine.
