Here is the information on the top. I think it is 100% molded plastic.

MPR is the name of the business.

Manufacturer of Plastic Reforzado LTDA

Buga, Columbia

Model 303-L

S/N 507

Nice.

Fitted the Softtop today, that came with the vehicle. Here are a few pics. The Frame looks original, but the Top is Aftermarket, as it still has the name of a local Manufacturer. Nevertheless, everything fits perfect! Should I ever change the softtop then I would opt for the leather straps on rear corners!

All components.

Rear Frame section fitted!

Cross member above door.

Softtop without doors.

Complete.

[Adolf]

I wish I had your Hardtop.

I do, in fact, I put together the very first 'group buy' with Ehsan back in the day. He makes cool stuff. He has FJ-43 tops too as he has built some for a customer in Europe.

I just need to buck up and order one. $1500. It would look killer. Tan vinalized canvas.

As said before, I'm jealous of yours!

What is your paint code?

That's a great color!

I suspect Judson Green T453, but am not too sure!

ADOLF.. that's an interesting bow set up you have there.. looks like an aftermarket product.. bot OEMish in shape.. NICE TOP!

Man, me too.

I think I am going to email Ehsan about a drop-down tailgate for it. I will hold off on a soft-top until I can determine if I can keep it or not.

One thing I want to do it start at the front and completely rebuilt and clean up the drivetrain. The motor is fresh, but the knuckles and tie rods need some love.

While this has nothing to do with the nice truck you just got... I thought you may like to know about a local pub that shares your name. Grogan's Pub Adams Morgan Washington, DC 202-248-9991

[pbgbottle]

[pbgbottle]

[pbgbottle]

Here's a pic i took of a 43 in SOR's back lot.. now this is a statement.. **EDIT.. OOPS i think it's a troopy..

I think a FJ43 non-removable top IS a FJ44. From all I can find, the FJ-43 was either soft-top or NO top. The 44 series was the hard top version.

That picture of the non-removable...that top does not look OEM to me.

Keep the pics coming. I love it.

Jason Harsh told me there was one at the latest meeting from Saudi that just had a once over from Proffitt and he said it was the bomb. Anyone have pics of it?
