Re: hardtop
Go here .... I think this might be what you're looking for. They can be ordered without the side windows.

When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

Re: hardtop

Another option, there is about 50 manufacturers of "canopies" in South Africa, a coulor coded one will cost about R10 000.00

If you have not figured it out yet we refer to them as canopies. Build your self a nice aluminium one, there is many posts on this forum about guys who did their own aluminium canopies (full aluminium or steel frame with aluminium clad).
Re: hardtop
If you don't want to build it yourself or don't have the time, you can have one built by Abbacus. Their prices are very good and very good quality, for basic aluminium canopy with no side doors R10k. With 2 doors on each side (your spec) they charge R13k. Let me know if you are interested. The alu canopy is also 5 - 10kg lighter tahn the fiberglass one.
I would recomment Aluminium Canopy being much more versitile.

Re: hardtop
Und so kann Ich auch, aber ..... for what reason, when Davey can speak English while his mother tounge (Flemish) is actually closer to Dutch than GermanYebo then he can call me. I can speak German...
Davey, you said you'd prefer glassfibre. Do they not make them over there?

Re: hardtop
yeah they do make them, but it's really pricey over here, and we do need to order them in a shop that needs to order the hardtops in australia, or england...

Re: hardtop
I see. So why not try contacting the suppliers whose sites have been put up here and find out what it would cost to order from them and ship it yourself. Do a comparative costing.
