I'm guessing you are asking about the "hardtop savers", they are a set of rectangular spacers that go between your Hardtop and the hold down screws to spread the load out and prevent localized cracking of the hardtop.
Jeepswag, aka Brent Woods, invented and sells them. I had access to some 304 stainless strap and made my own set. If I didn't have easy access to the material and tools, I would have bought some from Mr. Woods for sure.

Thanks to some "RJ" shop rental fee (Guiness pub draught), cut back some stock rubi rails 2", replaced the end caps, bolted them on.
Than after figuring out there is a driver and passenger RRC side armor tube, got those mounted up.
The rubi rails worked out perfect, since the tubes would have been way too far away from the body with the 1.25" BL. Looks great!
I took some garage pics, but you can't see shit with the shadows. I'll get some daylight pics tomorrow.
Oh...and discovered when we did the group BL install at my place, some guys liked the hardware bolted in from the bottom up, and someone liked it from the top down. LOL Made the rails install more interesting....time for a couple more Guinness!
Thanks for the help Randy!
