Oh, and I had one of these to install/remove after years of doing it manually (would crawl under the cap and lift it up, balancing on my back, bleh..)

I recently traded trucks and now have a 04 250. I found a used Leer on Craig's for $100 with clamps. It has sliding from glass and side windows with screens, dome light and brake lite. It is not the same color as my truck but I plan to paint it to match. Really happy with it. I made a place to take it off by setting 4-4x4 post in the ground that I back between. A pair of 2x6 on each side gives a place to rest the pipes I place across the bed of the truck when I raise the topper. Simply drive out from under it, can do it alone. I take my off frequently as I also have a slide in truck camper.

I was already thinking about how I could build something like this with pulleys in order to take mine off and hang it in the ceiling of my garage. The website is pretty rudimentary... any chance you have pictures of your setup? Also, do you mind sharing how much the system cost?
