I have had my Gladiator for 3 days now and I took the top off today. Sorry I didn’t get more pictures but will tomorrow. Post your questions and I will try to answer them. Total of 8 bolts. 1 on each side under the freedom panel. 6 along the back and side wall. You have to remove a small plastic cover to get to the wire harness. I broke one of the tabs on mine and then you disconnect the wire harness. There’s a holder for the wire harness so it’s out of sight when disconnected. My 12yr old and I removed the top, I tried by myself with the suction holders but could not get it by myself. Probably could just didn’t want to damage the top. I will post more pictures soon.

I bet breaking that tab was a real bummer. Think the dealership will help you on out on it?

Have not thought any more about it. It’s still secure. Not even going to ask about replacing it. I will probably leave it off at some point to make taking the top faster. It’s cosmetic not functional.

I don't have an accurate weight right now. Having to get in the bed of the truck to remove it by myself then to get out of the truck makes it a little difficult by myself. I will be making a stand for it today the weather is getting good.
