Is the rear cargo box supposed to be water proof? I put my walet in there and went riding (mud bogging) and it was complety soaked...If it is not water proof does anyone have idead on how to water proof?

Did you get the Arctic Cat cargo box or a different brand. If so, what did it cost and other than the leakage, did you like it. I've thought about getting this around deer season to put all my crap in. That little storage compartment is just about useless, though it is waterproof.

The cargo box i was talking about was the one under the rack between the 2 rear wheels....mine leaks big time. i'm thinking its getting in around the thing you twist to open it(its got a bunch of sirt in it.)
i won a ATV Tank Bag from www.atvstuff.com they had to change it a little bit cuz they designed it for a forman and the only thing i hate about it is its only water resistant and its gets in the way of the reverse lever. but i keep my tools in the left side and i keep other stuff in the right side....it also has to places you could put like a 20 oz bottle...might want to check that out....mine comes in handy especially since that getting the tools from under the seat were such a pain and water usaly got held up in there so now they stay pretty dry(in the bag)

I agree that the little stock storage box is completely worthless! I finally ordered a rear rack bag from www.atvstuff.com and I really like it! I got the one with the cushion underneath and it provides a bit of a cushion over the rear rack for a passenger as well as hold a LOT of stuff! I think I paid 72-74 dollars or so. If you get the camo design it comes in the heavy 1000 weight cordura ballistic type nylon. All other colors come in a "polyduck fabric" which is a lot lighter, but doesn't seem as durable. I also got the tank bags, but they don't work great because of the reverse lever. They do sit back farther on the tank than those for a foreman, etc, but they still get in the way! I got more room, now I need more stuff!!

Rob, I checked that rack bag out, but I have a question. It shows two different bags on the website. The bottom one is mossy oak breakup, but the top one looks like Advantage camo. It doesn't list Advantage anywhere. It also says mossy oak breakup at the top, but that doesn't look like it to me. The bottom one does. What is the top one, and which one is made of the cordura nylon?
