    Swags is a good dude. I STILL owe Well Seasoned his Secret Santa gift (before you CRUCIFY me, I'll be making him something on the forge, still trying to get the damm thing fired up!!).

    One thing is for sure, we've forged some great friendships over the years!

    Back on subject, I like some sort of "scabbard" idea. I'm going to make side boards that slide in my stake pockets someday, I think I'll make a shelf between them at the front of the bed instead, up above the load and where it won't interfere with the rear view mirror.

    Wedges stay put. I keep my scrench and some files in there as well. I don't do 50 mph and bounce around everywhere. That ATV is on wood and snow duty ONLY.

    As for the saws.. I blow them off after every use. Like to keep them clean.

    Keep them clean and running well, and they will stay in your hoard as an investment. Don't take care of stuff and let it go to chit? You'll lose money and likely not get much use or money out of that investment. I look at every purchase as an investment. It must either make money or hold its value till I get my ROI. Then if you break even, your still doing good.

    Here is my 15 yr old ATV. This one is for bouncing around on ;). No wedges on this one.

    Take care of your stuff, and it will take of you. :)

    IMG_20140213_121004_730.jpg Here is my 25 yr old atv. I'm not that anal but still think it looks good.

    It came missing that kick plate that covers the kick start. Not made anymore and I quit looking g on ebay.

    The 300's were nice machines. I rode many miles on one of them. For the size, they are very capable.

    O.k...

    Back on track!!
