HellionXR6T I'm Back!! Thats right, long over due! :) Lifetime Members 4,348 Member For: 22y 5m 27d Gender: Male Location: West Brisbane Posted 31/05/05 12:05 PM Share Posted 31/05/05 12:05 PM Hey all fellow T Utesters!Seriously thinking about getting rid of the stocko cover and going the hard lid. Just a mater of $$, need to save.Wondering how many of you Ute owners out there have gone the custom way and haven't just gone for the FORD hard cover and spoiler.Would be very interested in seeing what you have done. Please post pics if you have them. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/17945-custom-hard-lids/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be worth looking into...Chris Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/17945-custom-hard-lids/#findComment-258858 Share on other sites More sharing options...
