Last trip, I loaded the Teryx pretty heavy. Decided a cargo rack on the rear receiver hitch would be a great idea. Strapped on my ice chest and bbq pit and took off for my destination. By time I got there, the ice was brown and everything was covered in dirt.

Also, don't forget your keys. That cost over an hour and half.


Any other words of wisdom? Been thinking about mounting a hand air pump up under the rear bed too (and a plug kit in the glove box). Good idea, bad idea. Anybody carry one?

Plug kits are a must if you are riding in areas with sharp rocks and tree roots.

Noticed last night that my ice chest had 3 holes burned in it from the exhaust. lol! I swear it was at least 10" back. I never saw that coming either.

Oh well. This is a world of difference from my 400ex. Live and learn.

I've seen a bunch of people toting their coolers like that. Wonder how many of them had that happen too?

Maybe the truck would have been a good option.

Shoot, the trails we went down, the mesquite scraped both sides of the teryx and the top of the roll cage. Seriously looked like a tunnel in most spots and we're talking miles. Not taking my baby through that.

Next time, I'll strap it on the tailgate. It's not as big and the rear seats are in the way, but it'll have to work.
