When I want to take the top off, I lift one end, slide a 2x4 under it, life the other end, slide a 2x4 under... Then lift the 2x4 ~6-9" into the hanging rope. Once that's done it's just a matter of driving the truck out and lifting the 2x4s over the tire.
I may wind up replacing the 2x4s with steel bent to accommodate the tire or cut and piece 2x4s together so they'll have a _____/~~\__ shape to go over the tire...
But it's super-easy to get it up onto the 2x4s by myself, and cost me about $20.
