Very interesting.  For mine I am removing the full top.  The problem I am
into at the moment is, do I rig the rear to tow from the front and tie into
the frame members to tow, or do I tie into the bumper mounts and tow from
the rear?  I like the vanagon hatch area just like it is and am going to
build a box under it for closed storage in that area.
