Thank you ! I came across this at a perfect time. My brother passed a few months ago. I needed to get the hard top on his jeep. Great instructions! Soft top off and hard top on in 30 mins thanks to you.
You have no idea how this video helped me.I literally just got my jeep on Friday and for the life of me, couldn't figure out how to remove the soft top. Seeing this video made me realize that the hard top has to come off first.
Thanks so much and fantastic detail!!
Corby, You are very welcome!!
Dealerships need to teach people how to do this stuff. I showed a guy how to put his side windows back in right way cause he didn't know how the door area worked and had it mess up. He offer me a carport shed for free. I refused it cause I think all Jeepers should help others. Don't forget to do the Wave
So I guess you was born straight out of the ASS and knew everything. It is the job of anyone who sells to explain anything to a customer who don't know how to operate any items or they just don't know how to sell and don't give a damn about their customers. Glad I was able to help someone out and will do it again. Why do they make these videos? To show people a easier way of doing something. Guess you are one of them salesman who don't know how to show a customer how to do it. Its OK send them to the back and see if the Technician can help them out.
My husband and I watch you every year...we almost didn’t need this year but we still check in to make sure we didn’t miss a step. Thank you fo the super helpful video!!
It's really impressive how you managed to do it alone.
Thank you for the video.
By far, the absolute best video for removing a soft top and adding a hard top. The only thing I would add is that when placing the hard top on via a pulley or winch system, have the rear doors open to ensure as the hard top is lowered it doesn't bump into a door. A really great video. Must have saved me at least an hours labor.
@Donny-boy Productions
I came here looking for how to build a pulley system for my wife's new Wrangler Unlimited.
I know that it's been a year, but I'll save this to my watch later file. If you know of a video or anything for some ideas, thanks in advance.
Thanks so much for making this video! I have done mine a few times but then I forget when it is time to change them out again. This was the most helpful video I have seen. Thank you!
This is a really great video to show how a soft top is removed completely! Thanks!
Great video. Great colour truck too. Swapped my tops recently to the hard top. Found that the rubbers on the doors needed time to adjust - had some weather leakage at first but it repaired itself after a few days. I've a diesel JKU Flame Red
Tim, Thank you
Have this book marked. Go back to it each year. Thx
Good video, and precisely why I sold my soft top - cumbersome! All on, freedom or none is where I'm at!
I agree and I disagree. I guess year 4 and year 5 will make me want my hard top more.
Very creative way to install it solo! I have a John Deere tractor with a loader, and will probably spring for some clip-on pallet forks because I have no one to help me install my hardtop.
This video helped me so much I cannot even explain
Great video. I might purchase a used hardtop and this was extremely helpful.
Great video, this is my first summer with the jeep and your video is great for getting the soft top installed. thanks

Gene, Very welcome
I really like your video. It was really helpful for when I took my soft top off and installed my new hard top. You were very thorough and not showed only key points in the video. I really like the step by step process. May I make a suggestion if you haven't done so already? Wiring the hard top was a pain and the directions for the wiring kit is impossible to follow. How about a video for wiring? I was not able to find anything on it (only chat forums). It could be very helpful for others who are confused as I was.
Stephen, Thank you. Not sure if I can make the wiring for the hard top video as my Wrangler came factory with the hard top and wiring. Just looking at the kit looks like a pain. Lol
That blue is sick!!!
It is !!! Thank you
Nice conversion. Can the hard top be painted body color? Thanks for sharing
We are tying to install the body clips but are having a hard time. Could you clarify how you snap them into place please.
Awesome video man. Really helped me with my hardtop install! Thanks Eric
Eric, Thank you!!!
Thank you sir. This is the most informative video I could find. Very helpful
Does it already have OEM wiring to plug and play or do i need to buy wiper hardness?...Just convert to hardtop but dont see any wire to connect wiper....please help
It requires the optional hard top harness kit. www.ebay.com/itm/2007-2010-JEEP-WRANGLER-HARD-TOP-WIRING-KIT-MOPAR-OEM-82210215AG-/321227214165?hash=item4acaa24d55:g:r3gAAOxy1RZSWa6h&vxp=mtr

Excellent "How To" video... Well explained and very detailed...Thank You :)
Are the 6 screws for the back the same as the two you need at the front or are those two smaller?
Tool #1, buy a forklift. Got it.
Thank you so VERY much for this video. We were lost!
Did this Jeep originally come with a hardtop or soft top? Wondering if a Jeep that originally comes with a soft top will have the wiring harness foe the wiper and defroster and tube for the wiper fluid?
Yes My Jeep originally came with the hard top. If your did not and you wish to go to a hard top they sell a kit from Mopar that allows you to add that wiring for the washer and wiper.
So the body clips just snap in?
Anybody know where I can buy a forklift?
Thanks for this video. I am a first time Jeep owner and this is my first winter. I live in Louisville KY so our winters can get cold but usually not terribly cold. January is usually the coldest, getting down into the teens and occasionally sub zero. If I leave my soft top on will these temps damage it?
Thanks for helpful video!
Thanks a lot fiero880. I watched the video and took my soft top out , made it easy watching it. Question: Is there a way can keep the soft top wrapped under that plastic and put hard top on.
There is, which is how it was shipped from the factory but it is a pain and takes lots of storage room up.
Thank you for making this video. Huge help.
This video is super helpful! Thanks for making it!
Great video. I've used it several times as a refresher when I switch from my soft top to my hard top. Is that a CATV trunk amp on the shelf below where you store your soft top?
yes it is. my company is upstate broadband
fiero880 I thought that's what it was. I use to work for a cable company many, many years ago.
Thank you! It is exactly what we needed.
Very Welcome Missy.
Outstanding Heroo
I just removed the soft top torx screws and did not know about the Velcro straps. I did not see you use these. Is there a trick to keeping the spring wound?
Oh yes the notorious spring assist. Many thought it was the best thing created. Until they tried removing their top. I have yet been able to find a wrangler with the spring assist and film how to correctly and safely strap it in place. My apologies. But I have heard it is a major pain.
Great video thank you so much for the help
how wide is the hard top? i'm wondering if i can fit it under this overhang in my garage (the overhang is the staircase leading down into the basement). thanks!
I honestly do not know. I will try and measure with a tape measure.
Where do I get the middle screws for the hardtop
great video, where did you get the washer tube to hook up to the hard top?
My Wrangler came with the hard top when new. I think you can purchase a hard top wiring kit which includes this.
Awesome video sir!! I recently bought a 2011 Jeep Wrangler, found your channel and quickly subscribed, I have a question though, I really really love your rims, can you tell me what rims those are, and where did you find them? Also, I to have a soft top but would like to have a hard top as well, would you recommend Craigslist?? Did you feel as if you got it for a fair price? Thanks in advance for making these great vids!! I always look forward to your very informative vids....
Thank you greatly!!! I purchased my rims from Discount Tire. The are MB Torque Wheels. As far as buying a hard top, yes craigslist is a great source but I have seen hard tops for sale on many of the wrangler forums. I subscribe to www.k-forum.com and depending on your location there may be a few in your area for sale. I feel $800 to $1500 ish is a fair price. All depends on condition, year model and if you are lucky enough to find a matching color top.
+fiero880 Hey thanks again for the info!! I has another question on those rims, are those 18 inch and was/is there any kind of off set to those? I think I may have found some but I just would like to be sure before I make the purchase, any help is greatly appreciated!!
How long does it take to install hard top hours not windshield? Heard 3 hours at auto shop I think to long hm
1 hour. Realistically it should only take 30 minutes.
@@fiero880 thank you so much
Great job... Thanks. Does anyone know if Jeep will ever make a JK Wrangler with a Diesel engine (that is what I want)...???
Rumor is 2017
thanks
They already have, but only available in other countries. .. I know go figure right.
Where can I buy or order a hardtop for a 2007 jeep Saraha
“Do not do this, it’s dangerous”
Everyone watching “man I wish I had a Hilo.....”
Great video. I don’t even have a hard top....
Great Video! I'm new to the Jeep. Is this easier to do with the 2 door Jeeps?
a little easier on the 2 door.
Great video! Thanks for posting.
thanks for this vid,and you wrangler have nice wheels.
Mike, Thank you
I just got the same hard top for $500 on Craigslist but I need some hardware any chance you know where to get hardware
eBay has it all over the place. Just search and check used as well refining your search.
Anybody know how to do this on a JL?
Great video man!
Nice jeep dude
Thank you
Are there kits for 2000 wranglers? I HATE soft tops
Thank you for this excelent Video 👍👍👍
9:33 The hardtop will not go on unless everything is removed
Can I do this to a 2007 jeep Sahara?
Yes, for the most part. The 2007 has a slightly different top
Thks!!
What brand of hard top
OEM Jeep
Thank you!
Is the hardtop really heavy?
Taip Reel heavy enough to need a forklift...lol
thanks
awesome video love the easy steps #youraboss
Nice video, and i learn a lot=~=
Thank You
do not try this at home! That's good cuz I don't have a forklift at home! lol. Thanks for the informative video and shame on Chrysler/Jeep for not including a detailed video for both installations.
Mark, Anytime!!! and Thank you
You are fast
Decent video overall, but would have been much more helpful if you had not blocked so many of the steps with the back of your body and your arms. :(
Yes, I agree. Cost too much money to hire a camera girl.
HAHA! :)
so its an instructional video, but you dont want us to try it?
