Which set do you need?
✅ Jeep Wrangler JK / JL / 4xe: Jeep Bolt x6 (6 tub-edge bolts), or the Jeep D-ring / D-Plate Combo
✅ Jeep Gladiator JT: Gladiator Bolt x8 for its 8 tub-edge mounting points. GP-Star is the required option on the Gladiator: the Anchor PRO T-handle cannot rotate in the narrow bed tub edge
✅ Jeep hardtop top bolts: 4-Pack Top Forward Mount (4 bolts) for Jeep hardtops
➡️ 2021+ Ford Bronco: see the Bronco GP-Star Tie-Down Bolt Set (8 tub-edge bolts, plus top forward packs)
Meet the GP Star Bolt: a tool-free, star-shaped thumbscrew designed to make hardtop removal fast, secure, and frustration-free. Made with a galvanized coated metal screw with an M8-1.25 thread, topped with an Engineered ABS star head with reinforced Nylon, it’s a direct replacement for factory hardtop bolts on Jeep Wrangler, Gladiator, and Ford Bronco models, plus any DIY project with 8mm+ mounting holes. The signature star head isn’t just functional: it adds a subtle badge-style detail that lets you customize your vehicle with a clean, purposeful look.
Bolt it on with a statement
EASY TOP / GPCA COVER mount and demount
NO TOOLS REQUIRED: friendly thumbscrews make hardtop removal simple. Fasten in seconds to the factory attachment points.
NO LOOSE PARTS: fasteners store in the upper deck holes when the top is off.
DOUBLES AS A TIE-DOWN: mount GPCA Tie-Down D-Rings or D-Plates under a hardtop or soft top.
SOFT TOP COMPATIBLE: galvanized nuts are included. *Not compatible with the JL Power Top tub-edge mount.
STAR DECALS: 1 star decal per bolt presses and sticks onto the recessed area on top.
TOP BOLTS TOO: the compact 1.5 in star head fits the tight top hardtop bolt positions where a T-handle won't rotate.
WORKS GREAT with GPCA Cargo Covers.

Ford Bronco soft top note: the Bronco tub-edge packs are for hardtop Broncos. A soft top covers the Bronco tub edge, so they do not fit; soft-top Bronco owners can use the Anchor or the GP-Star at the C-pillar mount for bags, coolers and tools.
