:dunno: Hey, Is it right that you can convert any landrover from a hard top/pick-up/CSW to a soft top just by un-bolting the roof etc?

Hi

yes, you can!
Just unbolt the top roof, plus the side panels and back door.
Then fit the hood sticks, plus the canvas hood and rear hlf door and you have a soft top.
I have a friend who did it.
Just beware of the legal matter attached to that conversion.
Here in Portugal whe have to present a car project to our DMV, plus a certificate of the dealer who performed the operation (as it is usually a DYI project we have to pay someone to sign us that piece of paper ).

yep its dead easy

mine spends most of its time as a hardtop (no windows in the back)

and when the summer comes up (a few days a year) i whip the roof off and the door tops and fold the windscreen down if im brave

have to say i never really bother with the hood and sticks cos i swap so often ... i carry a lot of expensive equipment when im working so the canvas aint secure ebough.. and the windscrren rail and door top rails would make the process take a while longer

takes me 45 mins to get it off and 60 mins to get it back on i rigged up a little frame so i can lift it on and off by myself its a 2 man lift for the roof otherwise

i had a truck cab on for a while but i never got a new one when i smashed it all on a tree limb :complain:

Yep-

Run the hardtop October - April, then pull it and run a bikini top (have a roll cage in my SII) during the summer.

Too damn hot here in Georgia to do otherwise!

Hi what do you do about the top seatbelt mountings when in no top mode? I'm wanting to go topless for the summer in my 1989 2.5TD 90 landy, :lol:
