I'm going to show you all the steps, processes, plus a pro tip at the end so stick around for that. Let's get right into it.

I really appreciate it. Let's get back to it. Before you take your hard top off you're going to want to grab all the tools that you're going to need and Jeep is nice enough to give you this kit to get the hard top off and in the kit there is a Torx wrench for the inside of the doors. There's also a socket for the windshield bolts and then they give you this ratchet and they give you a T50 bit for the Torx 50 bit to get that hard top off. This is the only thing you're going to need is the Torx 50 and the ratchet. It's a tape measure and you grab four two by fours so grab that stuff and we'll get right into it. The thing I forgot to mention you may want to grab a ladder. The next thing you're going to want to do is find a spot to put your hard top before you take it off. I suggest a place that's out of the way maybe in a corner of a garage or something but you're going to need five feet wide by four feet long. These two-door hard tops are actually longer than the four-door hard tops are on the ground so you're going to want to measure five feet wide and four feet long. That's what you need the tape measure for and you want to put the two by fours down so you don't scratch your hard top. This one that we're doing is going to be painted so you want to keep that looking nice. One last thing before we get started you're going to want to grab your hard top front piece bag out of its plastic. Hopefully you have one with your Wrangler. Maybe you got to use second hand. You can get these on eBay or any Jeep dealer and it's a good bag for your hard top pieces. Just get that set up and ready to go so once we get those hard top pieces off in the front you have a place to put them in and you're not going to wreck them. Now that you have everything ready to go you're going to want to take off all the quick disconnects on the front hard top pieces. There are eight of them there's six quick disconnects and then there's two kind of brackets here so you're just going to want to pull that down and just start unlatching them. So the first step you're going to want to do once we got everything unlatched is take the driver's side hard top piece off in the front first and you just lift it up from the sides and this is where you're going to want to get your ladder because you're going to want to grab both sides of this piece and it just lifts off like so and now we can go put it into our bag. So now you're going to want to grab the passenger side just lift up and once again like so. So you're going to want to store your hard top pieces in the bag that it came with hopefully you have this bag because they're color match you're going to want to store them in their nice and neat so that they don't get chipped up and everything. I like taking the bag and putting this side with the strap down like so and then you take the first one to go in is the driver side piece you're going to take it you're going to make sure that the painted side or the outside is facing the outside of the bag and then it goes in the long way so the long way like so it goes in that piece and then you can set that down and then there's a flap that goes over that and the reason you want to do it this way is so that your pieces don't scrape each other now you take your passenger side panel and it goes in the other side like that now you can bring this piece up grab both handles tip it upright and then you can zip it up and now you're ready to put it in the back of your Wrangler. Once you have your front hard top pieces in the bag you can store it in the back of your Wrangler make sure you have the headrests up because that strap that we talked about is going to go around the headrest to keep it in place just lift it up there and put that strap around the headrest like so and then you're going to want to push the bottom of the bag up to the seat so that doesn't get hit by the door and then you can hold the top up and close like so and now your hard top pieces will be secured in the back of the vehicle. So now that you have your front hard top pieces off it's time to take the back hard top piece off you're going to want to grab your ratchet and your Torx 50 bit and then we're going to take out all these bolts the first thing you're going to want to do though is probably put this back seat up or take it out completely but that's a different video so we're just going to put it up for now just kind of folds up like so and then you can start getting these bolts out once you get them to a certain point of looseness you can just kind of hand crank them out and we'll get them and then you can put them into your holder right there for the roof bolts now notice there's eight so there's six in here and then there's two on top I'll show you where those are in just a second but we're going to get all these bolts out right now all right now for the driver's side I already got them pre-loosen so you're just going to want to get them all out of there and then we're going to go do the bolts on the top of the vehicle make sure to always store these in your holder so that you don't lose them so the last two bolts that we're going to have to get off are located at the front and top of the hard top there's one here and then there's one right there so you're going to want to grab your Torx 50 and your ratchet and just start getting those out and once they get loose enough you can just hand crank them out and we'll get that one next and then we'll take the hard top off put your final two bolts in their spots right there with the washers and everything and now we're ready for the next part so the last thing that we have to do before we can enjoy the open air world of the Wrangler is to remove these two quick disconnects so the first one you're going to want to do is the big one there's a little red tab push down on that it'll click then you have to press the red tab in I like holding the top here and then pulling down on the piece so once you do that there's a spot right down here for this to go into and then it'll actually click in there and hold in there and then the second one is for your washer fluid there's a silver tab right there press that in and it slides right off there's also a spot for that right there and now we're ready to take the hard top off so now that we have everything disconnected it's finally time to take your hard top off but before we do that I'm going to give you two pro tips to help get this hard top off easily and quickly and safely number one pro tip open this rear glass and close this rear door second pro tip is to open the front and passenger door it'll make it easier to grab that hard top all right now that we're ready to take the hard top off grab a friend I've got Austin right over here hello and we're going to grab kind of in the middle to get it up and then we're just going to walk it back past the tire that's why we have the glass up and then we're going to set it on our predetermined boards below so here we go ready Austin ready all right lift up on the bottom then just walk it back and we're going to set them on the boards so that we don't chip up the paint and that's really all that's to it and now we can enjoy the open air life of a Jeep Wrangler let's go for a ride so we're going to go for a little spin just uh take the Wrangler off with the top off it's a lot of fun the only thing is I recommend getting a hat because you can't really escape the sun we've got uh just a ton of jeeps take a look right by my left here jeep jeep jeep grand chair geese wranglers ladiators compasses renegades we got it all thanks for checking out the video everybody I hope it was helpful and informational and if it was leave me a comment in the comments sections below I like seeing those comments each and every day also give us a like subscribe and share on the youtube channel also click the bell notifications and you'll get updates on the videos I do each and every day I have one of the largest catalogs of vehicle walkarounds on youtube over 8 000 videos over 500 wrangler videos demonstrations tutorials you name it we got it on there and uh as you can probably see the hard tops back on this jeep and we just did a video on how to put that back on so if you took the hard top off on one of my previous videos or on this video and uh want to put it back on now watch that video in fact in a second you'll see a link to subscribe my youtube channel in the upper left a link to more wrangler videos I've done in the upper right a link to how to put your jail hard top back on in the lower left and a link to how to take your jail doors off in the lower right click those check us out and uh remember to like subscribe and share click those bell notifications and thanks again for checking out the video I really appreciate it
