The instructions for installing the jl soft top indicate torque settings on the bolts. Is it necessary to use a torque wrench or can I just make sure they are good and snug?

You can always pick up an inexpensive torque wrench for this installation and then you'd always have one. I can't imagine owning a jeep without owning at least one torque wrench ?

Did one last night. As mentioned, you don't need a torque wrench (I have them, not necessary here). You do need two people. Took about an hour to install, could do another one in half the time.
