BCR01 Member 152 Member For: 14y 3m 10d Posted 12/09/10 11:05 AM Share Posted 12/09/10 11:05 AM YES! I have never done it but, I have just ordered my XR6 ute. Somitmes I need to carry a 3mtr long channle. There were 2 ways to to it:1: I have gone for hard lid with roll bar. I will make a steel platform which will clamp on to the roll bar using exahust clamps with the u bolts. I will then fit a Heavy Duty tow bar to the back and have a tee made that slots into the goose neck.2: If you go for one peice hard lid, ford have accesoriy roof racks for the utes in the spare parts accesories list. Get one of them and then do the tow bar thing the same...............well that's what I am gunna do anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
