Actually, I think your guess on the cost to upgrade your '06 may be a bit low. The hard top alone will cost you AT LEAST half thatamount. You will need to buy wider whels and tires and change the suspension. The wheels and tires alone may make up the difference with your guess and that doesn't include the shocks and springs you need to buy. The larger sway will be somewhat pricy as well. No telling how much it will cost to recover the seatsd to fabric, but you could buy someone's old ones and sell your new ones to cut the cost. You also need to increase the rigidity through the soft top storage area although that may just be a larger rear STB.

As for the weight, you could get pretty close by taking things out yourself and buying lighter weight produces during your upgrade.
