It arrived today.... now to open the box and check that all is well.
Shipping docs indicate despatch of 10th of Feb, so not a bad freight time.

Nice! I got an email yesterday saying that it had been posted, so mine is still about a week away I suppose.

So even though your order was processed before mine, due to the freight charge screw up, I get mine first???
Thats a little weird!
I just opened it and checked it. Great job of packaging by the looks of it, everything wrapped in tissue paper, and then the whole lot bubble wrapped.
2 thumbs up to Robbins for using tissue paper instead of plastic!
Cheers

Today's the day, just cleaning up the garage, so that I can start to install the new top without losing things or getting them filthy!!!!
I'll take a few pics as I go, but there are some great guide out there to help already.
Not sure yet whether I'll need to remove the BD bar yet, I'm sure I'll figure that out as I go!

It's time consuming, but take pics & together with the guides it should be fine. Removing the BD might make it easier access-wise, but as you say you'll find out soon enough. Good luck!

I haven't had a look at how the BD is held in yet, do you know by any chance if it is hard to remove??

Easy enough to remove & refit once initial fitting has been done, as it has in your case - 4 or so bolts from memory.

Roof is now off and being separated from the frame.
HINT: It's MUCH easier to do this if you take out the roll cage... thanks for the tip on how it comes out 93_clubman
I was hoping to be much further along by now, but its was kinda frustrating when we lost power 3 times yesterday arvo!!
I also did a kinda unique test to make sure that the rain rail drains were clear, when I spilt a beer in the parcel shelf, (minus carpet) it cleared brilliantly!

no probs - yeah i've heard it's pretty time consuming (6-8 hours for someone who's done them before), but at least you've got the weekend. good thing the beer drained, otherwise the next time you're pulled over the breathalyser would be deployed quick smart
