Looking for someone with a powered trunk on their Boss Hoss trike.
I want pictures to see exactly the powered arm / strut that they used.
Thank you

Barry, I got my actuator from these guys for raising the body. I was also gonna put a small one in to open the trunk lid. After looking at the easier way to go, I just got a door popper for a street rod and changed it so it would slam latch ,and pop open an inch when I hit the button.

Hi
I have a vette body that lifts with 2 actuators, each actuator is rated 1,000lbs, not that the body weights that much, but the angle they work calls for a heavy lift so to make sure they work at ease, I decided for the 1,ooolbs, also they have a 12 inch stroke.
Since they are under the trike, make sure you get at least IP66 rate and even that they should withstand water immersion, I coated them with rubber in spray to make sure it is all sealed and water resistant
I have used different actuators till I find the right set up and right protection, it can be frustrating to see them fail after 3 months or so because water got inside

if it has a solution, why to worry? and if not, why to worry?
