easy

cost of soft top only cost, just the canvas top

engineering cert only needed for the rollbar if not stock from factory.

Look here for pix of the top Ehsan Kiani from Pakistan is making, installed on one of my 76fj40's:
http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthre ... did=199249
It is about $600US for the top, and all the factory replica bows and installing hardware. If you're running "ambulance doors" in the rear, you'll need to convert to a tailgate, or 1/2 doors...I'm very happy with the quailty of his product...He can ship dhl airfeight direct to you...
