    Been thinking about a couple saw caddies for the Yota so they wouldn't be rattling around in the back and I wouldn't have to pile them on top of a full load of wood all the time. This is what I came up with. Oh and the 28" bar may look close to the ground but it is still 17" off the ground.

    Sweet. Reminds me of the Jerry Clower story about his cousin Marcel's truck with a chainsaw holder.

    Looking good! That should do the trick. I hate to say this but I kinda wish that truck (or an exact replica) was under the tree this morning.:)

    X2!! That is a sweet little ride! Those Yota's are very agile machines and can make through most ATV/UTV trail systems.

    Nice rack! I love it! ! Nice saws too ;)

    Now you just need a few wedge holders (with keeper straps) and a splitting maul holder. That is one tough looking truck.

    Like Jet said, that Toyota looks really tough now. Nice addition to your 'accessories', not to mention some nice saws to fit the new spot

    Yep. If I ever have the need, I think I'd be more inclined to pick up a little Toyota or Nissan like that that an atv. Much cheaper. Probably not as fun, but much cheaper :D

    That Toyota came about because I went UTV shopping and got sticker shock even on the used ones. I thought to myself this is for the birds; I have owned an 86,93, and still have an 04 Toyota, I know them inside and out I should just buy an old one off CL and build it up the way I want it. Also, it is street legal which makes it easier to get to one part of the farm and just run errands.

    It is still fun, every now and then I will boot it around the fields at top speed.:rootintootin:

    Nice! I use a 94 Yota as my wood truck. Much better than a UTV!!!
