    Question Top options for a 109 IIa 3 door

    I'm just wondering if you can have all tops on one truck without any modifications:
    1)Full hard top
    2)Pick-up top
    3)Full canvas top with side windows.

    To have all that lying about will require heavy modifications to any wife unit in vicinity. Each wife model takes unique and peculiar modification to get it working so... best of luck to you. And you forgot my favorite top option... 4) none at all... windscreen down.

    All bs aside.. short answer is yes.

    The answer is yes, with one exception.

    You need a tailgate when running a ragtop and a rear door when running full hardtop. That is unless you find a liftgate for the hardtop. If not you'll need to install the hinges for the door, and when you run a ragtop you can just put bolts there to blank out the holes.

    I alternate between ragtop and truck cab and I have a full hardtop awaiting a good rehab. That's what I love about the Regular 109. It's the most versatile of the Series range.

    you forgot the other option of a pick up cab with a 3/4 hoop set on the rear, all configurations are feasable it is only nut and bolt work, and the more you change tops the better and faster you will get at it.....

    All at the sametime!?!? ;-)

    I concour on the non stationwagon 109, you can put all sorts of different tops (or none) and have the joy of 5 different trucks!

    Of course the same thing can be done with an 88.

    Default my thoughts exactly

    you guys have hit the nail on the head as to why i'm looking for a 109 3 door. with a single car driveway and garage, i don't have alot of room for toys, so this truck fits the bill as convertible, truck, and sports car

    Still one more configuration that is arguably the most fun: top off, doors off, windshield folded. It's what I imagine driving a '30 blower Bentley would feel like.
    And I swear the 109 is faster that way!
