snap! My wife is always asking me to change down. "That's it!" I say. Used it to commute for 18 months on c.3000 rpm.

A nice shiny silver 2004 XR8 falcon for me.:)

I have never tried to remove the racks but they are all held in by two 17mm bolts at the base of each rack. Shouldn't be too hard.

The roll tops are good.
They are infinitely better than a torneau.
They are also better than the lift tops or hard tops because you can have ladder racks.
If you have a load that is higher than the roll top you can just leave it open rather than having to remove it as you would with a hard top.
The whole setup was allready on my ute when I bought it but I think the racks and top would set you back $3500.

BTW, I am thinking of selling my ute with the roll top and racks, if anybody is interested PM me. It is a 2000/2001 (unsure:confused: ) red AU II XR6, 103k, 17" wheels, nudge bar.
