The soft top pajeros (like mine) are like this from the factory. Mine i.e. has the code L042 instead of L040. If you plan to do it shortly i'll be glad to send you some close pic's. I think they 'll help you to do better job.

Seeing that they are a full chassis vehicle, as long as you have adequate rollover protection, getting it engineered it shouldn't cause too many headaches. The fact that they came from the factory with no roof will also help your cause. Just make sure you find an engineer that you are happy to deal with BEFORE you start cutting it up, a good engineer will be able to answer any questions that you have about the job, and if they don't know on the spot they should get back to you in a reasonble time frame with an answer from the department of transport's consulting engineers. The degree of difficulty will vary depending on what state you live in however as they are still running state by state rules at the moment (a little birdy told me recently that it will be changing to a national code sooner rather than later though, votes have been taken and won on the national code of practice).
