It would be nice to see what kind of homemade mods everyone has done to their atvs.

ex: racks, hitches, storage, performance, lighting, electrical etc...


I made a reese hitch reciver for my 06 scrammy. Saved 35 bucks, not much, but it helped buy beer [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Took two pieces of 1/8 x 6 wide steel, but a slight bend on the bottom section, welded them together where they met, and welded a tube on top to except a reese hitch. Will upload pictures later.

 

Sawed of my front rack on top and bolted tubing supports across atop fenders to stock front bumper. I can bolt the rack back on when desired.

Welded expanded metal to front bumper for added radiator protection.

Heated air box cover to warp it to fit K&N filter to maintain air box seal. Punched to holes into air box lid to add two rubber vents for more flow.

Good thread!

 

i made a custom winch mount for my scrammy 500 under the hood using a warn 1.5. it stays clean and out of the way.

you can see a few pics on my pics page.

X Kudos to the winch mount, I looked at your pics of your winch mount, and quickly decided i needed one too. 45 minutes with my welder and drill press and i now have a very slick winch on my Scrammy too. But I have learned to carry a ****** block as the Warn 1500 is a little under powered lol, but better than trying to push the bike out.

 

I made so custom nerf bars. Pics here & here


I put diamond checker plate on my rear rack. Pics here


I also made a rear hitch. Pics here

 

Me and my dad cut up an old rack and made a great sized cooler rack. Check my profile to see the pics.

 

SPORTSMAN70003 - where did you get the recevier for the hitch ... i've been thinking about building one, but can't find a precut jacket.

 

It came of a rack stand we got over at the garage. I think I have a couple more, I would just have to dig around and find them.

 

I used a dog toy for a weight for my winch cable. Its a perfect color match also! You can see it in my 3rd to last picture. I had to drill the end out a little bigger to get the cable through, but it works great!

 

i custom fit some nerf bars onto mine
