the replacement plastick has the same problem it breaks! expecialy in cold weather,i think steel is the way to go

 

i did the same exact thing on my kodiak. weve broken 2 footboards on the sportsmans, one from a rollover, and another from a tree gettin wrapped in there. theyre way too weak IMO. dealer here charges us 145, then we have a 10% discount which is still more expensive.

 

i spent $13 building mine and i dont have to worry about breaking it ever again

Very nice mossyoak. I wish I knew how to weld, those look like the came out good.

 

Floorboards look good. I had 2 Artic Cat's a 454 and 500 and they came with strong steel floorboards. The industry (especially Polaris who already builds heavy machines) could learn something from them. Those floorboards were bulletproof. When looking at atvs I noticed most have composite/plastic floorboards. They suck.

 

SPORTSMAN70003, where did you get the fuel guage. I have a 2003 Sportsman 700 and have had no luck finding one on the web or my local dealer.

Thanks,
Leo

 

I got it on Ebay but it was to short and I had to modify it to make it longer.
