    I certainly hope this doesn't come across smartass...



    Move it as little as possible...

    I used to lift the fiberglass cap off my old truck about two inches rear, and three inches front with rachet straps up to the trusses of the garage... drive out and leave it hanging... drive back under and release one at a time (carefully)... "all by myself" as my 3 year old says...

    That was assuming theres some sort of structure you can get under...

    Hope you feel better soon...

      ask for help. don't try and do it yourself. thats what I always did. But if you have the garage space, take all the screws out slide it back some then slide two 2x4's under the top and sort of like what Brad said but instead of satchet straps take 4 individual ropes tie them to the rafters (with pulleys) and pull all four at one time. then tie them off to the side and drive out. I think that makes sense.

            Chain hoist hanging from the tree in the front yard with the
            T bar I made.

            Hard top in the cart I made heading through the gate to the back yard.

            Under the pine in the back yard and a nice shelter for the bunnies, all done with no help.
