Thanks for all the help

I might be wrong but I think peachcreek posted pics of a pretty sweet set up not too long ago

you are right Josh. For some reason I didn't think it was as long ago as it was.....took me a minute but I found it. here ya go fella.

Thanks guys for the help. I'm can't build mine like that because mine has a cab on it and you can't get to much to bolt it to

Mine has a cab windshield on it and my rack fit just fine. Where there is a will there is a way ;) just drink a few beers and scratch your head until u figure it out. (http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/23/emy9eryv.jpg)

Travis, I may hit you up for a few up close pics at some point in the next couple weeks if you don't mind. I found a smokin deal on a rhino and picked it up last week, it is in the shop now gettin a full overhaul, when I pick it up  I am leanin towards building a similar front rack for it...... haven't decided which way I want to go just yet but I like the way yours turned out. I imagine the dimensions cant be to much different between the 2.

The one I riged up few weeks ago. Nothin fancy but works real good

Caseylee, unrelated question but what tires are those you have on you ranger? I have seen em in other pics but havent been able to figure out the exact model.........they look alot like the maxxis bighorn but I don't think they are......look a bit more aggressive but not bruise your kidneys  aggressive lol. How do they ride on concrete? look to be a good compromise between an all terrain and a mud tire. I have outlaws on my rhino but as much as we will be using it to putt putt around the neighborhood I know that I will eat the outlaws up pretty quick, plus they ain't the smoothest riding things around either  :D

Justin those are the moto MTC     I don't know a lot about tires but we run over everything and I have never had to plug or air them up. dam good tires in my opinion

Mine is more of a winding platform but it has hauled out many a hog. Gonna hinge it so it folds up and doesn't take an acre to turn around.

Peachcreek your right about getting some cold ones and get it done but I want some more idea before I get started
I want to use it to hunt off if it also I hunt with mbennet a lot so it's got to do both hunt off of and hail pig out
Thanks guys for all the help

10 4, i appreciate it. Deff. Gonna look into them......i tend to take the "as the crow flies" path as well any time i can.

What do u think

What do you thinks so far

I think the expanded metal is a bad ideal. Buddy of mine had a good dog catch his toe in it and when he jumped it broke. I screwed plywood down. Then I screwed those rubber belts of of a hay baler onto it. There tuff and they have a diamond pattern on them that prevents the dogs from slipping. If you use the self sinking screws there won't be anything for the dogs to catch on. Farmers have to replace those belts and just throw them away.
