How did you get the bar to stay up in the middle?

I have that same top and want to do that, but didnt see anywhere to fasten or attach them....

ok so the tires say LT235/ 75 R15
does that mean anything to you?

to keep the soft top frame up there is a strap on the drivers side and I just kinda wrapped it around both bars and tied it together
i'm sure if you just tie the two together with some string or something

just found some before pictures of the jeep. I thought I'd post them to show that you don't need to start with a beige sahara but it would have made life a lot easier. I'm sure boomerjinks can back me up on that

Thank you very much, that's a great looking Jeep! I was wondering too about the bars. On my 2 YJs I kept em laid down on the top of the tub. There was a little elastic band that tucked into the window channel to keep em from rattling around.

Thanks again!
