i need help with my roof hoist design

[trailraider]

i have designed a roof hoist for my hard top, but unfortunately I need help with my blue print.

as you can see the design works in theory, what am I missing? I have the beer so there is no issue there.

Quite the detailed schematic...I am no engineer but it looks like a very sound plan. What year is that JK in the picture, can't really tell! :cheesy:

I tried to do the 2017 model, as there is no confirmed detailed out line. I figured I would speculate to its design.

Judging by the XXX ok the bottle, it appears your are drinking sasparilla from any old spaghetti western or moonshine from the Hatfield and McCoy's cartoons.

Looks like you need to shorten the rear lower control arms. A lot.

I homebrew , so I use 1 litre jugs as for better open bottle to drinking ratio.this way I am not lying when they ask "how many beer have you had sir"

Your blueprints only show hoist points on the passenger side of the Jeep. So, you may want to add a queen sized mattress on the ground next to the driver's side of the Jeep. That way you can just flip the top over the driver's side of the Jeep and onto the mattress. :beer:

The shaved door handles are cool, but why the 7 slot delete? :idontknow:

Wiper arms missing too. Who does that?

I used inexpensive ratchet straps on all four corners lag bolted to 2x4s attached to ceiling joists.

Nice design da Vinci. LOL

 

[trailraider]

geez guys , give me a break. its a slow build. I can only buy so much ink at a time.

 

[sbakewell]

You need a large 3D printer

 

[Ddays]

Assuming your beer, ink, whiteout and paper last, do you suppose we'll see the prototype at SEMA this year?
