P1000 Delton's painfully slow build

[Delton]

I built one of the first (if not the first) rear racks for these back in March 2016. It was out of square tubing though. Those rops clamps are very pricey at around 30 bucks apiece.

I'm gonna make rear section like this but have it come over tailgate and bolt to rear bumper. Whatcha think?View attachment 152741

Wouldn't that prevent you from raising the dump bed?

Yes. Rear section would be removable and i rarely dump bed anyways. It's strictly a play vehicle

Yeah that's what I'm talking about. I'd build one but I'm just not good at making something that looks nice... Did you ever build more, or improve on it?

I haven't made a rack since lol. Tube doors, cages and sliders keep me busy. Don't have alot of time to work on them. That one was super easy to build but little crude. It bolted to rops with U-bolts. Probably didn't have 30 bucks in whole thing. If you ever wanna attempt it holler at me. Be glad to pass on what info I have.

Finally got around to rear doors. Actually looks better than I thought. I bent both stock latches removing them so I installed bear claw type latches. Now just gotta find some ways to cut labor hours. If i sold them at a reasonable price now I'd probably be making 2 bucks an hour lol. It'll get easier the more i make. Support tubes are just zip tied in pics. Trying to find angles that match the fronts.

That’s half what I paid for mine a year ago, I love market competition!

I just bought the 1.75" from ebay on Friday and actually had them delivered yesterday. Look pretty well made and figured I would have more then $15 a piece if I tried to make them myself. These clamps are 1.75" in length with 4 bolts but there are 6 bolt clamps at are 2.75" for a little bit more if you need bigger ones.

You and me both! Lol

As if I wasn't busy enough finishing rear doors i took on a new project. Front suicide tube doors. Still got a few tweaks to iron out but i love how easy it is to get in/out.

Really like your rear bumper where did you attach to machine?

Attaches where rops attaches. Bracket fits between cage mount and frame.

Finally took her in for clutch cover update. They also did gas pedal and muffler cover upgrade. Got new clutches as well. Guess i can't complain getting over 6400 miles out of factory set lol.
Also picked up a 20' trailer with new wood, tires, and brakes.

Thing shifts way quicker than before. I mean waaaay quicker! Lol. Clutches are still dragging however. Gonna do a relearn and see if that helps.
