Land Rover: Time for the soft top

 


Tomorrow we begin the process of removing the hard-top and replacing with a mesh hoop  kit. More on that in a moment. The forecast is for rain the next four days (Calling for five inches in the next three days) so I decided to put the truck in my storage unit a bit early.
We were hoping to do the work just outside the unit where we’ll have some light and room to work. But I think we can make this work and I’m eager to make the switch. Here’s what the soft top will look like and here’s the instructional video by the supplier.

Behind the truck are four saw horses with 2×6 planks across them. Once the top is unbolted, we’ll lift it back to rest on the saw horses until this fall. We’ll post progress photos here.
