Default Made some modifications to my atv

So since i've been laid off of work, I tinkered around with my warrior and built a front rack for it. I'm sure a few people will flame me for doing this to this kind of quad but you work with what you got, and i mostly trail ride anyhow, I don't race around. I also installed a toolbox on the back thats riveted to the grab bar so I can carry supplies/tools with me incase a breakdown on the trail complete with a heat shield to protect it from exhaust.




and yes that reverse light works...




Opinions? thoughts? i built this with a cordless drill, cordless sawzaw, and a cordless dremel.....if i had a welder there'd be less bolts.

(btw it still wants to pull wheelies even with the added weight on the front.)

If it works for you, doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. Good job for the tools used.

I see a cordless welder in your future.

yea i can't stand things that are "jimmy rigged" I used hardend steel bolts for everything....i wouldn't mind adding a second set of lights up front with lower wattage bulbs, the person that owned it before me replaced the factory lights with some driving lights from walmart(only 20 bux for a pair), they work, but i'd like to have something other then just brights.....they've got 55 watt bulbs in them.
