    I had a '99 Wrangler with a trailess top. It was a royal pain taking the top on and off! Recently bought an '05 Rocky Mountain Edition with this same top. Excellent tutorial! I'm looking forward to taking my top down this Spring and Summer thanks to your video.

    Makes me really miss my granddad’s 05’ Jeep TJ! That thing was a blast! He sold his truck and Jeep to buy a 15’ Jeep Jku with a hard top. Never taken the whole thing off because it’s a daily driver and worried about electronics! Not near as much fun as the old no options Jeep TJ! That Jeep had no options at all. Didn’t even have a option for a/c, but never needed it!

    Question, help appreciated. We have a 1997 Jeep TJ with a soft top but it does NOT have the hardware/frame like shown in this and other videos and doesn't look like it ever had that. The soft top just fits over the rollbar. Can anyone point me to a video that shows how to install a replacement soft top when there isn't a frame (not sure if that is the right terminology)? Thanks for any and all help!

    The brackets on each side of mine snapped. I can still take the top down but it is a pain to put back up. Also can no longer use the sunroof feature of the top (that’s where it’s broken). Do you know how to go about replacing that and how much something like that would be?

    Thanks for the instruction - I just got my first Wrangler and it has a hard top, wondered what would be involved to put a soft top on, now I'm confident enough to buy the hardware and soft top and get it going on! Are the "rails" that the bottoms of the panels tuck into on my hard top jeep or do they need to be added on? Thanks again - great video!!
