I wouldn't cut them completely off, maybe just shorter so they would slide in easier and you could still get a bolt in them.

You need them to bolt on the lift gate posts... Plus it doesn't make it difficult to lift the top... You just need to do it.....

I bet you could cut them off and then modify the posts to be able to rebolt them to the lift gate and the top. So you'd have removable posts that you could take off before you take off the top.

I cut about 2/3 of my stakes off with 1 hole remaining. Definately makes it a little easier to deal with.

My top doesn't have either one of those stakes, my previous couple did but not this one.... it seems quieter and much less of a pain to get one...then again I am doing it the one man one back way of taking it on and off

This is what I did with mine. Very easy to get the top on and off.

Hey thanks alot guy so i should just Cut them off but then re bolt the bottom half in just to suport the lift Gate that sounds like a good plan

I just cut mine in half about an hour ago. Theres no way I could get them bolted in with my roll cage, so I cut them so I could put everything together with the cage in....

Yeah there just a bitch any way you look at them the other bad thing about the posts is if your not carfull its really easy to scrap the paint off your side quarter pannal im shure others have had this happen and cryed.lucky when i did it to a spray bomb job but its getting a new paint job right now

I did the same thing.

Mine didn't have them when I got it, just fine w/out. I would pull them and toss them!
