Great thread with good ideas on how to store the FJ40 Hardtop:

I liked the Racor Lift System the best ($130 on Amazon). See pictures below. I beefed up the lag bolts into my ceiling that came from the manufacturer and spanned 89" with 2 4x4 posts to hold the lag bolts. After lifted, for safety, installed straps from Harbor Freight (400 lb strength, set of 4 for $8). I have 11.5 ft ceiling in garage so this system works great!
I am sooo pleased as to how it turned out. "1911" gave me the ideas to get the brackets from Lowe's and endorsement after over a year of use!. I think they were $7 each.
