Doesnt removing the grill give you that extra bit of room needed
easy enough to whip up an A frame from some 4x2s

Go to your local all tools or bunnings and buy a 2000kg sling for $20 or less. Tie it to your rafter at a convenient location and hang a block and tackle from it. In my old shed I left the sling in place permanently and just used a shackle to hook on a half ton block and tackle. Winner mate it will be bloody handy for you.

No accessible rafter, convenient or otherwise. Clearspan roof 5’5 metres high. Not gonna buy a block & tackle just for this one off job. Might be able to use an old ‘comealong’ I’ve got though I think TD’s suggestion of an A frame would be required if doing it myself........ unless....... the old shed has accessible rafters but very limited space around the vehicle. Will have to suss out if it’s do-able there.

May be different with a td42ti and the tall radiator.

Not sure Sooty, but that may well be it. The person who told me has an ’06 DX ute with the TD42i & the same winch.

The grill stops at the top of the bar John. The winch will be removed from underneath the bar.

My winch comes off by lifting it up I dare say yours would to
But being original 4.2 the radiator may be in a different position

Yeah nah definitely drops down. The top of the winch is covered by the bar. Except for the access hole.
The Td, not the Ti one, radiator is the same as the ZD one. So nothings changed there.

Surely your new shed is a portal frame? Have you lined the roof or something? My old shed was a 20m x 12m with 3.9m wall height. Was awesome! Yes it was a long way up hence leaving the sling for future use. How do you not have a rafter supporting your roof purlins holding the roof sheets?

I use my sling and block for a few different tasks over the years. The Triumph head stem hung from it for about a year. I used it to lift out the motor of my ride on. I lifted a 308 out of a commodore with it too. I certainly used it to lift the front bar and winch off my GQ and used it to refit when I was ready too. Easy task done alone with that setup mate.

Given your on the land I'm stunned you don't already own a block and tackle or see a future need to be honest. Was bloody handy in my shed for sure and they are cheap as chips to buy.

I s'pose portal frame is probably the correct term? Wall height is 3.8mm but can’t get the car close to a wall. The main ‘beams’ across the roof are all c section & ‘engineered’ to do their job & little more. Not sure I’d want to be hanging much off them even if I could get up there to put up a sling. Have since looked at price of block & tackle & have been surprised at how cheap they are, I was thinking they’d be a few hundred bucks. Would certainly be a lot lighter to use the my old cast come along.

Yeah I'd have no hesitation putting a sling around that C channel rafter mid span. No probs mate. The down force wind rating alone would far exceed anything your going to hang off there bud.

You can get a plate that bolts in at the ridge line with a big hole as s lifting point. Those brackets at the top of each column give it a heap of strength. Who built the shed? Looks like s JH Stephens shed.

[Cuppa]

Nah, it’s a Ranbuild shed.
