[dollar bill]

just got a new 2 me buffalo and have noticed an alful lot of wasted space under that dump bed,any one else out there thinking about some type of tub to carry tools and spares that would fit under the bed and over the chains/tranie?

Ya there is alot of wasted space. When I had my buffalo I took the dump bed and frame off/out of machine and wow what a big difference in responsivness as far as turning and throttle is concerned also climbed up hills way better with all that weight off. I made a custom storage area in the back out of aluminum and moved the battery back as far as it would go and put a big tool box under the seat. I made custom brackets for the rear cargo area in order to support custom boxed storage area and had some 1/8" thick 5052 aluminum bent on a break to make up the storage box. I also added a 40 amp 1 wire alternator ran off the fly wheel side of the 23hp kohler in order to run the super bright halogen lights I upgraded to.
