    I can't remember who wanted pics of the box on the front of my quad. Anywho, I cleaned it out getting ready to do other stuff with it this morning... and took closer pics. Box is 27"x36"x12" high.

    Nice Stin! I built one similar w/o the sliding capability, and IT saved my upper body from the wreck. Can never have too much storage! Looking good!

    Milk crates work good. I've used many over the years. Small stuff has a nasty habit of slipping out thru the mesh. That's what got me putting this box together and I can drop a crate full of bigger stuff in it too. Any box is better n nuthin... ;)

    Yea ,
    you put a lot of thought & work into your utility box to make it
    custom for your many uses.
    Real nice design & build !

    The threaded eye bolts for tie downs was a good efficient use of hardware , nice touch !

    I bet it turns real easy with the tracks and a load on the front.

    I like it. A lot. Might borrow some ideas.

    Glad you like the box set-up. Unfortunately the weight in the box actually makes it turn harder. Really have to plan turning moves in the woods.

    What do you put on the rear rack? I know my rear rack holds a ton more weight, and I can adjust the shocks with heavier loads....... which "was" the plan for this weekend atv camping :( but....... I guess getting half lit at the fire pit will have to do (hard to type at the moment:rolleyes:)

    Rear has the backrest / trunk on it. Has 2 small dry cell batteries mounted on either side of the trunk which adds weight.

    Guess I shoulda seen that about the tracks turning... kinda obvious now that, it's kinda obvious... :emb: ..:D

    Is that bar oil in the green container? If it is, I like the spout idea...
