    Putting a hardtop roof on a FFR 4x4...

    Hello,
    I am looking into purchasing a soft top Perentie and was wondering what the process would be and how hard it would be to fabricate a hardtop for it? I mainly want to do this for security and noise deadening, and also wanted to get a rough cost estimate... I have seen one person on this forum has done it, but that seems to be the only info on the whole of the web about it.
    Thanks is advance

    There is lots of discussion on putting a hard top on a Perentie on this site. From ute cab to full length.
    Have a browse.

    For example:

    there are a few 110 hardtops only for sale from $600-$1k on gumtree

    series iii sides off a 2 door hardtop bolt up by all accounts.. then you get to decide whether you want two piece rear door or single station wagon style door..

    you need to take the comb off the top of the existing windscreen surround as well.

    is what i would do if i found one i liked...
