Front Cargo Rack Ideas

[Buddee]

I'd like to put a front cargo rack on the front of my 6x6 so I can take extra items when we're out hunting or going on long runs. I have seen a couple on machines... just wondering if anyone else out there has ideas or pics? I know weight needs to taken into account for stability... also I'd rather keep it up front instad of out back where things can fall off without me knowing! Also I plan on making it detachable so I can access the engine and remove competely when not needed.

Thanks

Well, I can't help ya. I tried to find an old PM to me from a guy in Alaska who built a nice front carrier. No luck. I will say, keep it as light as possible, and don't load it up too much. Personally, I like to build an extended rack out the back a little bit. It helps balance the machine. Any more steel on the front of my machine, other than the Pushbar, and I would probably sink the poor thing.

over priced for what it is but might give you a idea where to start building

Im not sure if this is a thought but theire is a great ATV junk yard here in ohio that has a lot of racks or other parts that may help cut costs. Used Motorcycle Parts in Ohio. I was their last week and they had a coupel of racks like sparkplug had on the front of his rig. Just a thought

Thanks for the responses. I actually went to an ATV junk yard and got a lightweight front rack and will be modifying it to fit. I'll post pics when it's done.
