If you are like many new Jeep Gladiator JT owners out there, you may be a bit intimidated by that hardtop sitting above your head. So much so that you think it will never come off the vehicle because it is just too much work.

Well, take a deep breath and look once more at that top. It only seems like a lot of work. In reality, it is just a few bolts and an electrical connector to get that top off and fresh air in the cabin. And you can do it all with tools that Jeep gave you when you first bought the Gladiator. Plus, everything you remove from the Jeep can be stored inside the vehicle so there is almost no chance to lose anything. In fact, the toughest thing about this whole operation is finding someone to help you lift the top off your Gladiator. That won't be hard, right?

Rob walks us through the whole process, step-by-step—including storage—so you can go from covered, to open, with no intimidation.

    Tools Required:
  • T-50 Torx Bit
  • Ratchet
