You will need the nut pates that go under the frame rail and the bolts. Installing the top is pretty simple and straightforward.

If you want to use the wiper/washer you will need a wiring harness for it and a new headlight control arm for the steering wheel.

Don't know about the soft top fitting under but I would guess that it doesn't

X2 on the hardware.

The soft top should fit just fine but will obviously take away a bunch of room. They sell dual top options so it should be good to go.

I just want to be able to get the soft top in long enough to get it back home after installing the hardtop.
And I see the wiper install kit .

Fold the top down, remove the tailgate bar and the door surrounds, install the underrail nut thingies and put the hardtop on and hit the highway.

I bought a dual top in April. There was a piece of paper wrapped around the soft top that said not to use both tops at the same time or it would void the warranty. I assumed that the hard top might rub holes in the soft top. The two tops are only placed on the Jeep together for shipping. You will be able to transport the soft top inside until you get it home. As stated, just fold the top down and place the hard top on and secure it to the Jeep. If you decide to leave the soft top on w/the hard top all the time it will take up a lot of space in the cargo area.

Yeah I am going to sell the soft top as soon as I get the hardtop.

Is the soft top for a JK 4 door?

If so what are you asking

Subject: Re: Hardtop Sun 22 Aug 2010, 3:28 pm

yes it is on my 2010 I bought 3 week ago and it is a 4 door. I will be open to offers or trades once I get my hardtop.

The seller of the hardtop is missing the nut plates for the hardtop so if anyone has any laying around let me know.

I have the nut plates and bolts for the back part. I am still using the 2 bolts that attach at the front of the rear piece.
