I took an old wood artillary box used for mortors, pried the bottom off about two inches, slid three nylon utility straps from wal-mart through, one in the middle and at each end, re-nailed the bottom back on and strapped it to the grizz. Whole deal cost me maybe ten bucks. I will post picks soon. <B>

And there you have it, Nobody cares. Ahwell, I thought it was a good idea and it has held on good so far.. We will see. I promise to keep everyone updated on the success or failure as the case may be on my wonderful cheap invention.

 

LOL, awwww, your feeling were hurt. hehe

Hey, I'd like to see some pictures of that box. I'm making a bucket holder for the back of mine now. I have a cart but sometimes I just wanna cary a bucket around here and there.

Post some pic's.

 

Where are the pics of the box??? Saw your response team photo. You guys don't have a stun shield? I guess with Tasers, if you have them, you wouldn't need a stun shield.
X jail sgt.

 

good luck with your box, i would switch to u bolts though, straps will break especially after getting wet, every single guy that has rode with us that had a soft pack eventually went to hard boxes with u bolts

 

I bought a couple of those 5 gal buckets from walmart with the seat on it. They have a cooler in them too. I took the cooler out of one and use it to hold my logging tools, choker, files etc...and the other as a cooler. My quad is Mossy Oak and so are the buckets. I just strap them down with bungee cords to my rear basket rack. The seat comes in handy when I stop for a break. Between the buckets, I use an old ammo can to keep my extra chainsaw chains. I tried the Kolpin Bucket hugger and it was poorly made and didn't work as well as my rear basket. Took it back. The ammo can is a good idea....

 

Hey lookie, I got responces. Well the stun shield was inop at the time, it's fixed now and we are all X26 certified. I took pics of the box I will try to post them. Thanks, The U-bolt Idea is better than my straps, I just wanted something that I could take off without much trouble that would be good for trail / work riding.

 

Ok, there were pics on there, I guess you have to pay the fifteen bucks to be a supporting member EVERY YEAR!!!!????? I didn't know this, where did my other 12 pics go?

 

Yes it's every year.

 

Don't mean to hijack the thread but mywifesquad, are those all your rides? And I 'just' thought I had a lot of mtn bikes lying around. Ahhhh, the Honda Odessy, wish they still made it. Those old bike remind me of when I started riding in the 70's on a Honda Z50 then an XR75. You need an SL 70 for your collection, and a Trail 90. I need to find myself a Z50.

WBR, where did you get the ammo box? Sounds like a really simple solution to a common problem. I'm thinking of welding up taller sides on my front and rear racks, but as my welding skills suck, I'm always up for a simple solution. I tried a steel milk crate, but it was too small. tried a large plastic crate used to deliver goods to c-stores, but its too big.
