For the doors, it's a T-50, and you'll need to buy it. Not sure which size the windshield is, haven't done that yet. Just get a set of torx bits that go up to the T-50 and you'll be covered.

I have a JK sahara unlimited and i just took my doors off a few minutes ago. Its definitely a T50. The T40 is for removing the freedom top. I got a set at Auto Zone for $10 bucks that had a T40 all the way to T60. The only downer is now I have 4 other Torx wrenches that will not be used...

or you can buy the sizes you want seperately, but that's gonna cost almost $5 bucks a head. Just look around your local auto stores and you might find a better deal than me.

You have to slide the red lock over, then pinch the plug and pull at the same time. You may have to wiggle it a bit to get it off.

Does your Jeep come with a wrench to take off the oil filter, or unplug the oil pan? Why would it come with a tool to take the doors off? Get a good set of sockets, metric and english, and buy a set of torx sockets with the same drive.

Good point, but don't let the factory hear you say that. They might decide to take our jack and lug wrench away from us like they did the under hood light.
