That’s not my truck, it belonged to a guy we all called Crazy George. But basically what you’ve got here is a hood stick kit, the matching gutter kit for the doors, a seat belt bar which is common on the late model soft top trucks, and the correct soft top. This top looks like the OEM heat welded PVC version. The drop-down tailgate requires tabs on the chassis but there are probably bolt-on versions. This install would also involve a rail that bolts to the windshield frame to retain the leading edge of the top.

Many of us have gone this route.

Not that bad as everything bolts right up. I had to have my B pillar replaced because the former owner had a customer foldable top.
There is also a heavy duty version which has thicker tubing. You would have to call Kim at AWT though as he doesn't have it on the website.

That’s what I’d be interested in if I were doing this. The blue truck above has literally zero structure above the top of the seat belt rail.

It’s really not a ton of work at all. Especially compared to doing a NAS110 resto.
Never did it on a 90, but helped on a series 88” and it was not bad. Just have a second person to help remove the metal roof. Land Rover Defender parts | Exmoor Trim

Exmoor sells it all (maybe not the seat belt thing but I think there is another option for that). RN sells exmoor in the US. There are bolt on mounts for the rear crossmember the drop down tailgate. I know I have a set somewhere as they used to come with the take off tailgates. Personally I would do side swing tailgate.

Wow, That looks so different - Awesome! I remember the convertible top on that white truck because I looked at it when I bought mine from Johan. Great job!

I may have a spare, new in box AWT kit in my garage (ROW D90 black mohair soft top with roll-up windows, belt rails, tailgate bar/clips, header bar, etc. No hoops tho). I ordered it as a backup when Exmoor was late making my top & sending the kit. I should try to find it and put it in the classifieds...
