Ever had your car fridge lid smack down on your hand or even your head? In this episode of Lock your Hubs 4WDing, we're adding a gas strut to the lid of the Engel 75L Combi car fridge to stop the lid coming down in even the stiffest of wind gusts!

N.B. Just a quick update, the 150N gas ram has been replaced with a 100N unit and now the latches line up fine (The lid is no longer twisted). The lid also stays open without a worry!

This was the first kit the strutshop had done for the 80L Engel, and now the niggles have been fixed there will be a kit released to the public.


The kits are avaliable here:
