BAM2413, when we purchased out Habitat a couple years ago we did the following. Realizing that in MN most Jeeps are probably sold WITH the hardtop. In southern CA many Jeeps are probably sold with a soft top so hardtops for sale by themselves go at a premium. We drove from Saskatchewan to Prescott, advertised our hardtop on Craigslist in Phoenix and a couple drove from Phoenix up to Prescott to pick it up. We simply lifted the hardtop off of our Jeep and installed it straight onto theirs. We then drove over to AT and had the habitat installed. Worked perfect for us.
