TroutnMuskieHunter Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Looks like a great rack you built there....I've been thinking about building one myself but I'm a little sceptical on the stability ofthe ATV when going over rough terrain...It sure looks top heavy....have you taking this into consideration??

2 tone z71 Posted March 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 yeah I strapped it down this morning and went for a test,im a big boy and maybe that helps but had no problem with any off camber climbing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camillj Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Nice, now all you need is a ramp system to be able to load it yourself (using that front mounted winch you hinted at) Just add a windshield and a tarp and you have a portable hut for the winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 a lot of trails I went on , that would be way too high for the branches on the trees and it might be way to top heavy for many of the hills I went up and down but it`s great if it will work on the trails you ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pike slayer Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 i was thinking of making one of those to, what did you use to bolt it to the racks? is it a easy put on and take off the 4wheeler, im sure you dont want that on there all the time if you wanted to go for a quad ride with the buds.

holdfast Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Love the Rack and the Idea. Built something out of wood for my pickup. What I added is a Piece of PVC on the back ramp to act as a roller as I found it easier to roll on then off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 tone z71 Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Holdfast thats a great idea I was thinking of slicing up some water pipe last night for the top sections to keep the drag of metal on metal down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
