Soft Top (Bestop) Installation

As soon as I get my hard top suspension system installed in my garage, I’ll be ready to put on the soft top. Excited … and a little anxious. Probably overthinking it.

The soft top came in 2 large boxes, and I read that I should expect somewhere between 4-6 hours to assemble and install. No big deal. I’ve put together my fair share of IKEA furniture, and I don’t read Swedish. ;)

My anxiety stems from some installation steps mentioning very specific ft/lbs to attach parts along with lots of “do not over tighten” warnings. I have a basic torque wrench (plus the one which came with my Jeep) and the various bits needed (6 different sizes), but should I consider snagging “better” torque wrench which can be dialed in?
 
What Eddie said. I’ve put two trektop NX on. Only added advice is try to do it when temp is above 70deg.
Lay the parts in the sun, so they stretch more easily when you go to zip up
