    What a Dumbass

    Me, that is.

    I'm trying to put the hardtop on my jeep this morning, which is suspended from my garage on a hoist. I back slowly towards it, realize I have to spin it a little to the side, put the jeep in Park, and get out to adjust the position of the hardtop.

    At least I thought it was in Park. Turns out it was actually in Reverse, and when I stepped out, the jeep started rolling backwards, catching the top, ripping the hoist out of the rafters of my garage, and slamming the top down, half on and half off the jeep. To make matters worse, I was alone, and I don't know if you've ever tried to maneuver a 200 pound, oversized and bulky object like that by yourself, but suffice it to say, it's a bitch.

    I now have a garage, a jeep and hardtop that all need repair. Kick ass way to start the day.

    Worst of all, it's 100% my fault. Maybe that's actually best.

            Sucks dude. If you need any help searching for repair options, lemme know. If your garage door is fk'd, zummwalt is the way to go.

              First clever idea would be to delete this thread...Evidence.

                thanks -- the garage door is OK, the joist/rafter that the hoist was attached to is most decidedly not.

                I'm going to run by a fiberglass place over lunch to have them take a look at the top. Keeping fingers crossed that it can be fixed, because otherwise, I've got to get a whole new top. I'm hoping the scratches on the body can be buffed out. I actually don't know exactly what that means or if it's even possible, but I hear it said a lot, so I'm going with it.

                            sorry to hear toasty, I'm sure we've all had our share of inattentive mishaps. I was building a PC for a friend in the middle of a movie and I guess distracted by it, I ended up forcing the chipset the wrong way into the socket. Needless to say the PC didn't boot and pins were bent like staples that were forced through 100 sheets and caved in on the 5th sheet.

                            hope it doesn't cost too much to fix.
