I also bought the soft topper and they have a bar with snaps that you attach to the windshield frame, so you could get by with just capping your cuts and use your existing frame. Anyone else have anything to add to this idea. I really don't see using my hardtop again, so this may have worked instead of shopping for a frame and hardtop..

That is my plan just running a soft top. I wont be driving this thing in the winter at all, and it will go in the barn the second I'm done driving it, so don't really have to worry about rain too much. When I chopped the top on my k20 I capped it with sheet metal. It was a pain in the butt and looks like ass. I guess I could have taken more time and done it right. I think it would be much easier to do the pillar swap.
