You might have problems with the seat belts, unless they're the original fixed ones (or using the same fittings)
You will get wet.
You'll need a good tarp to keep everything dry when parked.
The tarp will leak and leave you with a wet bum.
You'll need a piece of string to keep your hat on.
You'll need a lockable box to keep anything valuable in if you leave the vehicle.
Taking the door tops off looks better.
DON'T lose any of the fixings.
Your chances of pulling will increase by 50%
50% of nothing is still nothing.....

just undo all the bolts (loads across the windscreen) then when you've got them all undone you can stand inside and lift the whole thing off in one, but careful because it wants to tip backwards because of the weight of the back, so the balance point is right at the back of the roof, with it on your back put your hand on the front edge above the windscreen else it tips backwards a bit out of control!
or just get someone to help you I spose but no need really

Took the hard top of of my swb some years ago, drove around for a couple of years summer and winter - brilliant fun if you have the clothing (used to ride a bike so no problem there). Ended up putting it back on 'cos the interior was getting very scruffy with the exposure to the elements. Perhaps a full tilt is the way to go?

Nice looking truck mate!
Hi,
I thought this was a Land Rover forum, so why the picture of a "pair of Rolls Royce Merlins"?
Slacken rear most fasteners, remove all other fasteners. Lift front high enough to slide a plank right the way across the tub, sticking out at both sides.
Reason? The hardtop can spead and drop off the tub. Makes life interesting.
Then remove rear fasteners, and slide anothe plank across.
Drag the hardtop backwards, ensuring that you don't lose the planks, until you pass the centre of gravity, then tip down until h'top is standing on its back panel, Drive away.
Much easier if you have a mate.

When taking the Hard top off, never fill the tank more that 1/2 way and make a note of the location of all multistory car parks.
The 1/2 tank is for when it rains and you can pop in to a garage and fill up.
Garage owners are lot happier to let you stay if you've spent some cash.
You can work out the multistory car parks for yourselves.
