Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey guys,
I lurk around here every day, and am still scrambling to get myself a Sierra. I have my eye after a soft-top but the hard tops seem to be around alot at the moment for a better price? Does that make it logical to buy a hard top, and buy a soft-top of Maria and convert it? Is it possible/easy?

Appreciate the advice, hope to own one soon Look like alot of fun hehe

Dont think it would really worth it to buy a tin top and chop it down into soft top. If you like the soft tops just find yourself one and save the hassle.

Just my opinion...

yeh...and as a tin top luva..please don't kill another one by choppin it!

it's possible, but not easy... gonna be a hell of a lot of work, but do-able if you're good with a grinder and welder. if ur set on a s/top and aren't that handy, then either wait for for one to come up, or pay someone to do it

get a soft top and a removable hard top.. there is one in the for sale section now..
my missus has a vitara softop with the removable hardtop and she loves it. i prefer tin top as it will tend to be slightly more secure.

Thanks for the advice guys, seems like ill just wait out for a softy then, thought it would nearly just be a bolt on Boy I was wrong, thanks again guys!

I got both a HT and a ST
Feels alot safer in the HT with a roof overhead
I also like the idea of a HT in winter more that ST in summer
You can also lock a HT up so you can leave stuff in it when you run into the shop
The difference in top weight is hardly noticable
Soft tops have a bigger pose factor though

Just my 2c worth

Go the hard top! Soft tops are a pain in the arse once you get over the whole driving with no roof thing. My 40 series was a softie and nothing sucks more than having to run out of the house in the middle of the night in the rain to put your roof back on! I have a soft top sierra which is mid-way through getting a hard top conversion!

SOFT !!!!

i have a soft top , rain .......ppffffttttt !!!
haven,t had a full roof for over 4 years !!!
Only front 1/2 (fibreglass)
when wheelin , leaning over onto banks & rutts feels better , no crunching panel noises , or worse , breaking glass exploding behind your ears !!!!

what moose said!!
its 6 one way half a dosen the other!
my old one was hard top and new one is soft top with ute conversion!

aha thanks fella's, sadly I missed out on a Sierra yesterday but ill keep looking Thanks again guys

I got my soft top for only $800! Keep looking!

I'd say go a soft top, as someone else said you can always go the hard top later.

And I tell you what, glad I had a soft top yesterday, possibly could have done some damage if I had a hard top!

try find a softy with a fibreglass roof thats what ive got then you have many options to seasons weather etc fibreglass also easy to repair if you do some damage

I had a ST, never took the canvas off, was annoying actually especially touring thru high country for 4-5 days.
When i damaged my ST body, i found a HT cheap and put that on my ST chassis. Best thing, i love the tintop, its weatherproof, so many more options for storage, etc...

hey guys quick question, is this a tin top or just a fibre glass rear, does it mean i can wack on a softy?
