« 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?

are you close to tri cities? I have a extended rack from my Polaris taking up space... could probably save you the trouble of fabrication  :dunno:

I used to have an old radio flyer wagon with no wheels or handle we would strap to the front. The old milk crate works pretty good too for tool bin on the front.
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 crate, cooler, rebar box, or a Milwauki Packout box?  All are functional.  Stay balanced F/R.
MAGA!  Again..

I have a front rack off a Honda Rancher that could be used for free too.  Just holler.   In Puyallup though.

Milk crates are great for everything

I like your fabbed rack.  Makes it easier to carry packs or other gear

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

Well now I’m looking at hand guards, so I guess I need those to see what clearance I’ll have to rack
Always something else

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

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
