I took a grinder to that metal hump on the rack that the wooden box went on to allow the box to hang over a bit and sit flat.  THe hoop was welded to the crossmember so there wasnt an exposed whole left.  I painted over it to prevent rust.

Bigworm Fabbed the alluminum box on the articat and allowed the metal hoop to stay in place as the box is easilly removable.  THe Box was linexed ( I made a mistake and said power coated in my previous post).  The linex keeps the metal cool and helps dampen the noise.   

I prefer the wood box cauase it is taller and I made it a bit deeper, 

We have hauled four men, and six dogs at one time on the Artic Cat quad.  those things are beasts.

Yea me and a friend of mine made it. Its nice to carry dogs, hogs, feed buckets, fence material, ice chest...u name it. The rack on top was built for the quick track bag to sit in along with flash lights or whatever. I have really been pleased with it.

mILLER THAT IS NICE BUT YOU HAVE TO WATCH OUT FROM KNOCKING OUR TEETH OUT. A GUY I KNOW KNOCKED HIS TEETH OUT ON A GUN RACK THAT WAS TOO HIGH. HE WAS TRYING TO RUN THROUGH A CREEK BED FAST THEN  CAME SUDDEN STOP ON A SUBMERGED STUMP. POP! TOOK HIS FRONTS AND DIDNT EVEN ASK. .

I like the rack muleman, do you put something over the expanded metal?  I have seen dogs get their toe nails caught in it and man it is an ugly mess before you can get em un-done.  I like that seat you made though, passenger appreciates it I am sure.

Dang, that looks huge for a four wheeler rack. Almost as big as the bed on a mule.

Do you have any side pictures?
