Looks like a big HondaSxS.com sticker will fit nicely over the Umax lettering.....

I don't see it on the pics posted here, but I had seen it on some of the first ones posted when this group buy came up.

I can now barely make it out in the one he posted. So yes it does say YAMAHA on it.

Oh yeah. The one that @Mudder mounted must not have that imprint or we would definitely see it.

No it's there. It is hard to make out. I tipped my laptop screen forward and with less glare on the screen I could see it.

I stand corrected 🙃

I think the Yamaha on the tail gate is going to make it tippy

Looks a little bigger than I expected. But still workable.👍

This is gonna be a fun little mod. I'm already expecting to Rhino-Line the interior of the bed, maybe the outside too.

Enough layers of Rhino-Liner will cover up the "Yamaha" 👍

Mudder approved! Needed to haul yard trimmings so did a quick fixed mount with u bolts and a rear carriage bolt thru the rack’s centerline flat bar. Very sturdy and made the P500 even better. Unfortunately, my old 48 inch tool box won’t fit inside, inside with is 45 3/4. I left the peel off protective bed liner on. Simple Green removes the printed stuff.

To make a tilt dump, would have to have move pivot brackets 8 inches rearward to clear the rack when tipped. Front hook latch is beside a rack cross member so a square u bolt could be a catch pin. Box width is slightly less than the rear fenders, solid metal tailgate hardware. A Honda-yama, with a Polaris overhead radio.
