VII13B Member 38 Member For: 18y 3m 21d Posted 06/02/07 05:14 AM Share Posted 06/02/07 05:14 AM Just wondering if anyone with a Ute notices a difference with the rear lid on or off. Does the extra weight aid in traction of is it not noticable?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how heavy the lid is maybe about 60kg or more. Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much, much better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

04RSD Member 78 Member For: 18y 5m 2d Posted 06/02/07 09:47 PM Share Posted 06/02/07 09:47 PM any of you guys have problems with spinning 1 wheel all the time.I have a bf powerbulge wich I dont like the look of but I went to swAP some random guy off the street I pulled over for his flat lid untill I saw how dodgy they are they are held on with tec screws and little pieces of 2mm alloy. the power bulge has huge brackets and hinges and not a screw in sight, so I guess ill stick with worse looks but better build quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
