    Removing hardtop and attaching to FFR soft top Perentie

    Hi guys, newbie again....

    First please forgive me with the models designations FFR ect as I'm still learning.

    Now my question is my mate bought a hardtop but he just wants to use it as a farm/hunting vehicle and doesn't really need the hard top, rear door ect. Is it possible to remove hardtop and attach to FFR, I've had a look but just wanted to check with the gurus first. Obviously I wont have the rear door. If possible I don't want to hack up my FFR by drilling heaps of holes ect, I want it to be able to be returned to fairly stock if need be.....

    Any advice ect would be much appreciated...

    If you don't fit a rear door than as soon as you hit a dirt road the inside will fill with dust........

    I can use a small custom piece of canvas or as you said build a custom door... Im more interested if I can do the rest. Also I've driven without soft top on, completely open rear, sides, roof the whole lot open and this hasn't been an issue for me personally I dont mind a bit of dust I just give it a sweep then use my industrial vacuum when I get home to get it out.

    What did the hard top come from? A series Landrover? A Defender?
    You'll have to look at your windscreen. That will be where the problem is. Post up pictures of the hard top (whether it is on a car or not). We'll be able to advise you better then.

    Shouldn't be a problem then.
    Unless there is something different with the ROPS. That's the roll bars. Have a look at where the ROPS mounts and have a look at the same places on the one with the hard top.
    Others will know more.

    no ROPS on vehicles with a roof isn't it only on soft tops? As long as the wheelbase is the same (other than sixbies they are all 110s) you should be able to change the the hardtop over.

    Yes. My point. Would a hard top fit over the ROPS? You may have to remove the ROPS. That would mean thinking about what you are doing with the seat belt mounts.
    All doable.
