Ute Master have advised me this Hard Lid is now over $4500, (Sports Bar version)it doesnt have a light, and if you want the "destroyer" side rails add $695 if you want central locking add $479 AND YOU GET TO INSTALL IT YOURSELF ! After youve paid $150 for delivery.... then theres the "Load stop"..... sure, its a good setup but no change from $7k delivered with all the bells and whistles. its DIY and 7K is 10% of the entire Hilux purchase price....

Biggest con I have found with ute lids on the utes I have owned over the years is that you are limited with the height of items you can place in the tub and still be able to fully close and lock. Have now gone with canopy. Love the videos Ronny.
@jonasandersson19913 жыл бұрын
Exactly the same for me. Cant't get a bigger then 40 liter fridge under the lid and get it out without opening the lid. I had my RTT on the lid and then I can't get my 50 fridge out. It sticks up inside the lid. Now I'm waiting for a tray to be istalled and then som kind of canopy on top of that.

Congratulations on the sedan conversion! But seriously, the really cheap way to put lights inside a hard lid is to epoxy a small metal strip inside the lid, roughly where you're linking of putting lights. I keep a rechargeable work light with a magnet on the back in the cab, so when I need light in the tub or around the tailgate, the magnet keeps the light exactly where I want it with no extra wires to worry about. I'd be interested in seeing your experiences with dust in the tub (maybe some on-camera driving down dusty tracks might be in order.) My experience with the 7th gen SR tub (no vents near the cab, only the gaps around the tailgate to worry about) and the factory Toyota lid is that the back third of the tub gets covered in dust, but the rest of the tub stays surprisingly clean.
@jasenanderson85343 жыл бұрын
If you're in for a hard lid, that's one of the best I've seen and looks like an awesome choice. Personally, I was torn and eventually went the canopy, getting the Aeroklas for about 2600 bucks and you can rig them up to add on an extra 100kgs on top. It also has central locking plus I like the height usability for larger items that might not quite fit and the protection from weather and theft. Accessibility to the rear is easy and they have a built in light. Everybody is different though and I think you choose well for purpose here.

I’ve had one 18 months. Driven on Gravel roads everyday. It’s going to shake itself to bits on corrugations but it is dust proof once you sort the tailgate. Don’t overuse the dog stops or they will fail. Central Locking is great, overall well worth the $3.5k

Bed cover con: 1- limited in height under the lid. Not all items will be short enough to fit. 2- Over time with the tie downs, the lid will begin to bend up and not have a tight seal. Allowing dust and moisture inside the bed. Pro: what you can strap down to the top is worth this option.

I have a similar lid on my Hilux and found three issues over 10 years. 1. The struts eventually fail. 2. It’s not waterproof. Water resistant, yes. 3. You can not make full use of the tub, tall items don’t fit because of how deep the tub is. If you only plan on loading flat items then it’s fine. Also items that sit right at the back, are a pain in the ass to reach without climbing into the tub.

they look like uneek 4x4 sliders you have put on. They are going to test your honesty as a person who reviews gear. I have them on my ranger, they look great but they have a critical flaw. The three supports that hold the step and connect it to the chassis collect dirt and debris. They start rusting pretty badly inside where this happens because it is extremely hard to clean those sections out. I have had professional cleaners complain about it. I raised it with them and they said they didn't know about it. Either (1) they are lying or (2) they don't test their product very well. Unfortunately, I think it is the former. Hopefully they have addressed this design flaw. Can't wait to see Ronny's long term review on these.

The things you pointed out are correct. getting stuff from the front of the tub can be a pain, but you can't have everything. The lighting (or lack thereof) in the back was a problem too, but because I wont be doing the sort of long haul stuff that you do Ronnie, I simply bought 3 of those self adhesive battery powered led's, stuck them where I could access at least one of them from anywhere around the back and that has worked well so far. Still has the original batteries in them. It is waterproof, but as you say, dust is a problem that I will have to sort out. I've got an iDrive ( throttle controller) on mine and love it.
