I took my frp top of the other weekend to replace it with a newie.

Basically theres four bolts along the front on the windscreen (top)

Four above your head behind those large round caps.

Then there four down each side of the cab (pull the lining out and up inside you'll find 4 each side)

There are two down the rear you can visibly see.

Then if you pop the FRP badges off you'll find one bolt in either side.

Then it lifts off easy as

Hope this helps - if my digi cam was working I'd take some pics of the locations

You have to remove the bolts along the top of the wind screen and the ones along the top of the rear tub, for these ones you must remove the trim and come up from the bottom, there are also 2 sneeky bolts that screw into the roll bar behind the "FRP" badge, and I think there may be a few that go up through the roll bar (I don't put them back in, so I dont remember).
You will need Bundera rear doors (2 peice), and to do the job properly get the front doors as well, good luck it is well worth the effort.
