i believe it's version of the protop so down load this installation .pdf, and see if mounts the same way. if so it'll show you all the hardware you'll need.

Thanks, that gives me some Ideas of what parts to look for.
Seems like a Bigger PITA than I thought.
Hope I like it.
At lest it will make me feel more secure if I have to park it outside.

gee, thats soooo thoughtful.
NOT ;D
Here it is on it's way home in my Work truck.
It might have fit inside the 4dr but what the heck.
Nice prev owner.
Had everything for it (that I could tell) and even showed me
how to put it on.
Now the fun part.
Putting it on.
And No.
I'm not getting rid of all the soft top stff.
I'm told it's not cheap to replace it all.

I had a hard top but I got rid of it because I liked the soft top better. Especially the freedom of taking it off and putting it on whenever you feel like.

I got really lucky by buying this from a nice guy that showed me how to install it and Having ALL the pieces (which is rare).

A few pics of the mounts.


Yes, I know, I lost a screw. I'll have to find another one soon.


It does sit lower in the rear now.
My guess is with the HardTop and the FullSize spare it's just too heavy. Explains why my 2dr wieghs 1,000#lbs more than my 4dr.
Guess I'll have to add a 1 3/4 spacer to the rear and take out the 3/4"inch spacer

Now it looks really stubbie ;)

Took it for a 100mile test drive and it came back home.
No wind noise.
Didn't fall off.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. ;D
I kind've like the hard top (for now)
Tinted windows. ;D
