Lonnnnnng ago I tossed around ideas for a chop on mine. Some 20 years ago I saved these pics of a BII someone had done a removable top to make it look like factory (you can just make out the line where the top sits on the truck at the rear of the window). Don't remember who's truck this is, or if they were ever on TRS or another RBV site (maybe someone recognizes it?). As time went on, I guess I just learned to live with mine the way it is (I'm not sure I can see myself pursuing a chop at this point). I'm sure it was a lot of work that went into this BII.
As for the 2.9L V6 & big tires, just remember it's a 2.9L running on 38-year-old technology. Gear it properly for the tires and it should do as well as can be expected for 140 horses (for 33" tires that would be 4.88 gears)... I have 35" tires, so for me it was 5.13 gears.
