more hard ware.
On my 08' 4 door there is also two more screw locations.
They are over the back corner of the front doors in the rear top section.
My jeep did not have the screws when I bought it.
I asked the sales man why they where missing (what was I thinking?) He said they wheren't neccesary.
Any way the first time it rained water poured in at the front top/ back top/door joint. I ran to Home depot bought the correct screws/washers, And haven't had the leak problem.
And it just seems safer to have the leading edge attached when I have the front tops off.

I purchased my JK with just the soft top. Aside from purchasing a top and wiring kit, what hardware am I going to need? I was looking at one at the dealer and it looks like I need 6 threaded brackets for under the rear rails. Do I need anything for the top bolts if using a freedom top?
Any help would be appreciated.

seriously, i think u got it. 6 torx bolts to secure to the tub. 6 brackets to accept the 6 torx bolts. if u have an unltd, then u'll need the other 2 bolts that secure the front of the rear section to the top of the roll bar @ the BPillar. u already go the wiring kit, let 'er rip! tip, once u take off the hard top, keep the brackets in the tub in place and just screw those torx bolts back in so u don't lose 'em! good luck dude!
