So I was putting my soft top on last night, finally. And I'm missing all 4 of the shouldered torx bolts that bolt the two bars in the very back to the little wings on the roll bar. I called the dealership and they are $5.10 EACH! Please tell me there is a cheaper way to do this from Lowe's or HD.

Ya, on one of mine the nut came loose from the plastic so it just kept spinning, and I couldn't get it out. I ended up drilling out the nut from the plastic and put a bolt through. If you can find out what size and the thread count, just put a short bolt in there,( 3/4 " or so) hex head or something that will still flush. DON'T over tighten those, or you'll end up like I did,

Yea hard lesson for sure. I lost my large "wingnut" things for the front freedom tops one summer and had to buy a set (now I have two sets since i found the others). When I pull the soft top off I put the screws you lost back on the ends of the bars. I know that doesn't help but I think you have no choice.

They do sell shoulder bolts Like these If you can identify the thread and shoulder length/diameter.

Excellent advise. When I had my TJ I got these for the soft top and they made a day and night difference. These are a much better option and well worth the $$$.

I figured it out. Went to Lowe's and bought a $0.98 pack of 10-24 x 1" Machine Screws and ran the nut down to the head of each screw. Then install. Simple as that. The 1" hangs out just a hit in the other side but the 3/4", I felt, was too short.

Hit Ebay for these, well worth it.

Ive enjoyed watching jknews since 2012, back in those days i just had their videos on repeat and watched them daily and i still do that right now. ive gone through all their controversy live and they go through quite abit with how much they upload, how raw their words are and the fact they are so diverse not just in audience but the races they attack through their jokes.

their biggest problem in the past is they didnt address them. the scale of the controversy arent equal, some ranged from just using a accent and accentuate the stereotypes which arent a big deal. then there were issues involving, at one point them supporting rape in relationships. these controversy and criticism builds up and eventually they vent in an episode about all the criticism is unwarranted and it should all be taken as a joke and they promote the people who attack criticism and they dont make any distinctions any of these.whatsapp web 192.168.0.1 routerlogin
