About Lange Originals ®
Lange is a family started, owned and run business. Our rst Hoist-A-Top idea came In
1988 when we struggled to remove a top on a brand new YJ Wrangler. Original
prototypes were made from wood and then metal in our home garage. We no longer
work out of the garage but your purchase sl puts food on our tables, braces on
teeth, and roofs over our heads. We are grateful for your patronage. If there is
anything we can do to cone to have your business, please let us know.
