Rear Rack Support ?????

[Sol]

Going to add a rack for the back of the Bigfoot for my ice auger. I want to avoid supporting the rack from the hitch. In my head I want to avoid anything that may impede my ability to back out on top of the ice if I have to.

Will the body support a rack without some type of strut running down to the frame?

Thoughts?

The auger weighs 32 lbs.

Great idea! I like that it's out of the way.please let us know how it works...please.would build one myself if good feedback.

If it's only going to hold 50lbs or less, I would think it would hold up fine. If your concerned, you can brace it to the hitch. You could make it so you could still use the hitch no problem.

Sol I have been looking into a rack similar to what you are thinking of for my Bigfoot. I think you should just use Rock Docs design. He hauls crazy weight with it and it would fit your needs. Just search racks and bumpers to find his threads. Best luck

Thanks guys,

I ran some searches didn't find RD's. It seems that most racks are supported up off the hitch which is what I'm trying to avoid. I don't want anything proud of the tracks to the rear. (is that proper speak? proud to the rear?) hehehe

Holy bad search skills have I as Yodi would say... THANKS men. Game on. Pics to follow. Just remember I'm a cook not a fabricator so theres going to be a lot or stainless bolts in my design! Just sayin.
