Title: Atv front or back rack?
Post by: n_mathews13 on June 01, 2022, 11:24:33 AM: Well, time to make another rack for front of quad. Anyone done this or have pictures of aftermarket DIY racks?

Some square tube or heavy rebar could Fab a pretty good one.
Like front brush guard/rack.

Have not done it though. Quad has metal front and rear rack.
I'm just throwing cheap ideas at ya.
Or both square tube around perimeter,then weld in some 3/4 or 1in rebar ,not that cheese 1\2 in rebar.

Milk crates are great for everything

Was fun
This next one will have a spot for chainsaw. Easy access on and off , for those trees in road. Also my mirror needs to be higher to see over box in back

Always something else

Looks good. The shovel location would make me nervous though.

Post by: n_mathews13 on September 15, 2023, 11:35:44 AM: It did me too.
It’s farther away from tire than it looks.
Other than it kinda being in the way of the lights, I never had a problem.
Was running out of room for a fast grab spot
