P500 My New Hunting Buggy

tsugrad06 · Nov 9, 2016

I am new to the SXS forum. I recently bought the 500 and have started to get her ready for my hunting/shooting excursions. First order of business was to build a bed for the back that we could shoot off.

I figured I would post the start of my build to get some opinions or feedback.

Not done yet but I have a good start to my platform. Shooter sits on yeti cooler and will shoot off the roof.

Good start....PDogs? You may want to add three of the camper type stabilizing jacks.

Yes sometimes. but mainly feral hogs and coyotes.

I am still working on my rear storage/shooting platform, but I thought I would post some updated pictures.

I added latches to the small rear tailgate & I mounted a vertical rifle/tool holder. The bed is mounted directly to the frame so she is really steady.

Things left to do: Fabricate side doors that will fold down vertically and double as a small ladder. Weld on a hand full of d-rings for strapping gear down. Give her 2 more coats of black paint.

Anyone else out there have any ideas for me or features that you guys think I might need?

I am thinking about adjusting my rear shocks to make them a little stiffer. I am not doing too much aggressive rock climbing or speed racing so I don't think that would have an effect on my ride too much. Thoughts?

I am taking her out to my property this weekend to do some hunting so hopefully next week I will have a few pictures of her in action.
