Soft top JK help.
I bought a 2014 JK. It is a hard top. The Jeep came with the three pieces in the picture. Seems to me to be incomplete. What am I missing that would allow me to install these on the JK?

If you've got the brackets on the roll bar and the soft top frame with door surrounds then you'd just need a tailgate bar. I have a tailgate bar I'd ship to you for cheap. Also- you'll need the tailgate bar retainers.....I don't have those.

Yes, you are missing the entire top. I assumed that just wasn't pictured. They gave you just the windows and roll bar brackets? You'll need door surrounds ($125ish), tailgate retainer clips ($25ish), and a tailgate bar ($25shipped) plus the entire frame and soft top fabric for the top. Frames are usually $150ish and you'll want to ensure you're buying surrounds from a 10+. The good news is that you have the premium windows so you'll be looking for the premium soft top to complement them.

My need for a top is only for a few months each year. I really try to keep doors and top off as much as possible I'm setting the Jk up to tow behind the RV, so want a soft top to use if we are camping and need to go somewhere in the rain. I see I can get a complete frameless top from quadratic for about $450. So I'm inclined to do something like that and maybe sell the 3 miscellaneous panels that came with my Jeep.

I'd be cautious with the qtec tops. I've seen one installed by 'professionals' and the fit was terrible. I'm stuck on Bestops and used takeoff's myself.
As for selling your windows- being that they're premium and tinted, you'll draw a premium...maybe up to $200.

Can someone look at these pictures and let me know if this includes everything I will need?

Do you have the brackets on the roll bar? On that top- you'll need to replace the straps that come across the sides in the rear. They're $60 from Mopar or $25 for the Crown version. So if you've got the brackets on the roll bar then you'll be set to run it.
