I'm going to try, based on the slight jab at Bob about motorized:
A harbor freight winch
Eyebolts/sailing type pulleys on the hitch and frame
A cable strung in such a way so as to mimic those two unistruts.
Self lowering, and even better, self raising.
I GENERALLY follow through on my plans at least to the point of obvious worthlessness.
This should be able to be completed by fall. It seems at first glance to be a very small and self realizing/dramatically failing project.(and a unistrut on large wingnuts[like used to be used to hold spares in trunks] as an added, one minute to remove, safeguard.
Edit: I just checked. I have everything to complete this. The 24.1 is in for a bit of warranty work or I'd have it all laid out on the ground. This can be done for under 100 bucks(plus the spare)
