The first time you put on the soft top, could be a pain in the ***. Problem is that the leather has never been stretched yet. Make a search on YouTube for Jeep soft top installation, the video from Bestop is well done and easy to follow. The paper instructions that come with the Jeep might not be enough. Gook luck!

Debred: it won't take three hours to put it on. It may take an hour or so. However, it will be helpful to have a second pair of hands for the hardtop.

Also, when installing the softtop, let it sit in the sun for a bit. It will help with the stretching.

Good luck.

Went down a snowmobile trail in Vaudreuil and managed to get stuck.
Need to now purchase lockers, lift and bigger tires.......I was second guessing my purchase ( 2012 Sahara Unlimited ) .......now I really should've gotten the Rubicon.

I don't have my Jeep yet (I get it Tuesday), but I did build a shed in my yard to store all my Jeep stuff. eg. door's, hard top, factory bumper, pressure washer...you get the idea.
