Looks good! I'll be watching to see how that rear seat turns out, be sure and keep us updated.

What did you keep in the big box and did it ever feel top heavy?? The seats are definitely cool.

I put all my Ice Fishing supplies inside there. Made it tall enough I could put 5 gallon with tip up inside the bucket. I never had any issues with the bike being top heavy. At least I never noticed it. Keep in mind I wasn't riding on trails with it only going across the lake.

A good multi-purpose machine with the P500 rear rack, versus a permanent dump bed on other models.

Winch is installed and it actually works. I changed out the switch and added it to the dash. I’m going to instal the cord plug under the dash on the drivers side. Need to buy a 1 1/8 hole saw first! And some pics of my Bluetooth stereo from Boss. It is made for Motorcycles but I modified it to work with a volume switch installed next to the 12v plug!

My rear bench seat is mounted!!! I still may have a friend weld up a support for the foot rest just to make it more stable. I am not a light person bout 225# and it didn’t move much when I stepped on it.

I used 2 u bolt to fasten it on. I had to add a piece of 3/4” plywood under it to level is out where the metal was under the seat. I also modified one of the unused angle iron pieces to give the u bolts more stability.

Seatbelts for my kids so they don’t mess around while putting around the campgrounds.

I can still use the hitch too with the 1 1/4- 2” coupler. Just don’t want to put to much weight in it or things could bend. (I have a tow dolly I can use if I have to move a heavy trailer!).

Gonna install the heater tomorrow if I have time!!!

 

[RoadGator916]

Heater is installed! I have to refill the coolant and hook up a couple wires tomorrow then test the heater. It definitely takes up some room under the hood but that is to be expected. The vents look nice and give it a nice factory look.

Just have to cross my fingers I installed everything correctly and it works when I test it in the next couple days.

 

[RoadGator916]

For the most part it was very easy to install. The kit comes with everything you need event the hole saws. The most difficult part was cutting the radiator hoses and putting the Y connections in to the heater. The electrical is simple and over all the instructions are very detailed.

Do you think the rear seat can be to be removable?

 

[Bastardchild]

You do nice work. Looks good man!

 

[RoadGator916]

Very simple to remove. 6 bolts hold it on. Simple to take off only take about 5 mins.

 

[RoadGator916]

Added a small box behind the rear seat and my version of a Trigger shield (had a chunk of 60 mil rubber laying around). Also added a rear view mirror so I can keep an eye on the kiddos when they are riding on the back.

I’m still battling with the Ice Crusher Heater trying to get it to throw heat. I had it going for a bit but now it isn’t again. I will have to mess with it again tomorrow to get it pumping heat.
