DIY Hard Top prep kit

Dumb question. What holds the brackets in place? Need to order bolts too?

Hardtop brackets require 3 of the large TP50 bolts.

3 total or 3 each? Do you have a part number for them?

6 total. I don't...

Though, they are the same ones holding the soft top brackets.

Today, what I thought was last hose I needed for under the hood arrived. Turns out it's the wrong part number.

@flip can you assist with telling us which hose is the correct part number?

Here's a picture of it connected to the hose routed through the firewall.

It connects to the hose capped off that's coming off the reservoir.

What number did you get that was wrong?

What number did you get that was wrong?

M2DZ-17A605-C - that's the hose with the T that splits the line between the washer and the camera jet.

I suspect its either M2DZ-17A605-K or M2DZ-17A605-BA, but the parts diagrams are difficult to differentiate.

-BA says it's for soft top. -K is for hard top/dual top. 17632B is the block off/delete cap for rear washer. 17K605A17K605B are front/side view camera.

Appreciate the help! The rollbar mounts may not be needed if you go with are needed even if you go with the ADV aftermarket hard top. At least that is what they are telling me. So from the discussions above I would need the following:

- Turn Signal Switch for Heated Steering wheel - M2DZ-3F791-CB
- Windshield hose - M2DZ-17A605-AA
- Wire Assembly - M2DZ-15A657-A

Possibly needed for factory hardtop:
- Bracket Soft top mounts - M2DZ-78245A26-B and M2DZ-78245A27-B

Anything else?

Are you sure about those top mount part numbers being the right ones? Dealer shows them as for soft top. In theory, won't those already be on the non-prep kit Broncos?

-BA says it's for soft top. -K is for hard top/dual top. 17632B is the block off/delete cap for rear washer. 17K605A17K605B are front/side view camera.

So it sounds like K is just BA, plus the extra hose for the hard top.

Have them installed and they are not for soft top.

Might I trouble you for a quick picture of where those are installed? Doesn't have to be today.

-K cheap too, list price is only $21.50.

-K

There she is! That's absolutely the one I'm hunting down.

Just had additonal confirmation as well that one ending in B is for hard top while the one ending in A is for the soft top. Sounds like Ford has a disconnect in their system with the wrong part description for those.

Appreciate the help.
