This is from the service manual:
Loosely install the six bolts on a two door or eight bolts on a four door. Ensure that the top is centered on the vehicle and locators are in place in the body side holes and tighten the bolts to 18 N·m ( 13.5 ft. lbs.).

It's in the above thread. Just be careful the top is prone to compression stress crack under the bolt heads. I keep meaning to buy some large fender style washers to spread the load over a larger area. Jeep Swag, sponsor, has some rectangular SS plates to do this as well.
