Default Need quick help about my tops

I have a 2010 sahara that has installed the oem soft top. This weekend ill be traveling approx 10 hrs to purchase a 2010 hardtop.

I know ill have to take spft top off to get the hard one on, but does anyone know if ALL of the soft top hardware has to come off completely in order for the hard top to go on? Tis sounds pansy of me but i dont wanna ride 10 hours with no top at all in florida sun, i am a night shift person, i hate the sun!

How long does it take to remove the soft top completely from a 4d 2010?

you will take off the door surrounds and the two pieces that hold the cross bar (for the rear window) but then can actually leave the soft top on temporarily for the drive home.

That is the way the dual tops come from the factory. Otherwise, where would you put the soft top for the ride home?

I'm talking from a 2 door perspective, maybe others will chime in....

The four torx are what hold on the door surounds? So essentially the soft top will still be on, just folded all the way back into the cargo area? And how do i know if my jeep is already "wired" for a hardtop? There is a wire harness behind the carpet in drivers rear quarter pannel area is it just as easy as plug and play?
