Hoist – A – Top Power Hardtop Removal System by Lange Originals for Freedom Tops


When it comes to removing and storing a Freedom top from a Jeep, the Power Hoist – A – Top is what you need to get the job done quickly and easily.  In fact, with this top, removing, storing and even replacing the Freedom top can be a one person job!  The construction of the hoist is burly and it includes a lifting device that is both powerful and chock full of safety features.  Your Freedom top will be supported by a steel frame that is well-balanced.  While other hoist products on the market are made using ropes and pulleys, the Lange Originals line of hoists feature a steel chain that has a high tensile strength.  When you purchase this Hoist – A – Top you will get everything that is necessary for a safe and proper installation and this includes complete and detailed instructions for both the installation of the hoist and the use of it.  The hooks that will come into contact with the Freedom top have been coated with rubber just as the hardware has been coated in foam.  This is so that the finish on your top will not be damaged.  Because this is a power operated hoist, once you attach it to the top of your Jeep, it does all of the work for you.  Lane has included 40 feet of the steel cable so that you will have more than enough to accomplish the removal and storage of your Jeep top.  There is also a winch, a remote control and a mounting bracket included. 

OK, so yes it does remove and replace the top but wasn’t there some mention about storing it?  Now, as of this moment what do you do with the hardtop of your Jeep when you remove it?  Do you lean it against the wall of your carport or garage?  Maybe you lay it flat on the floor or a workbench or balance it across a couple of saw horses?  While those are all viable options for storing the top when it is not in use, they all take up valuable real estate in your carport or garage.  Additionally, you run the risk of your top being dented, dinged or scratched in any of those locations. 

With this hoist, you will be able to sore the Freedom top at or near your ceiling in the carport or garage.  That’s right, when you use the hoist to remove the top, simply hoist it up to the ceiling and leave it there.  This clears up that floor space while there will be no chance of the top getting dented, dinged or scratched.

This hoist comes to you with a 1 year limited warranty and it has been made with pride right here in the USA.

Lange Originals Jeep Wrangler Wall Mounted Door Hanger


All Jeepers know that there will be times when the doors just absolutely have to come off and you need to drive with that “in the air” feeling.  Having the doors removed from your Jeep gives you a feeling of freedom and it also allows for you to be able to have a larger range of visibility when you are out on the trails.  This does cause a problem though.  What do you do with your doors once you get them off of your Jeep?  You could always just lay them on the floor in your garage or carport but then that allows them to take up space while they are collecting dust, debris and dirt.  They are also in a position where they can get dented, dinged or scratched.  On the other hand, you might lean them up against the house out in the yard.  The only advantage this has over the option just discussed is that they won’t be on the floor in your garage and taking up space you need.

In reality, neither one of those options might be available to you.  However, there is a solution for this issue.  The solution is made by Lange Originals and it is called the Wall Mounted Door Hanger.  This product will allow you the option of hanging the doors of your Wrangler right up on the wall where they can remain protected from dents, dings and scratches while also not taking up that valuable floor space in your garage.  This door hanger is capable of holding your Wrangler’s full steel doors.  Just mount the hanger the one of your wall studs first.  All that you need to do then is hang the doors with their inner panels facing each other and the windows down.  If you are concerned about the mirrors, just leave them as they are or you can retract them. 

This wall mounted door hanger that is made by LangeOriginals is capable of holding any of the steel doors whether they are factory installed or aftermarket.  The hanger itself mounts easily to the studs in your garage or really on the studs in any wall in your abode. The wall mounted door hanger comes to you complete with everything that you will need in order to install it safely and properly.  Each wall mounted door hanger will hold a pair of Wrangler doors.
