These are from a couple of years a go but just saw this thread and figured I would add some pics. I cut a piece of HDPE plastic (1/2 inch) to be just a bit larger than the rear rack. Then, I put some of the L track on the edges so that I could tie the gear down. Then added some red skateboard tape to keep everything from sliding around. It worked very well and provided a lot of flexibility for whatever I needed to haul.

For anyone not yet started on attaching boxes, etc. to P500 racks, consider the single bolt conduit clamps. Place bolt on each outer side of tube for easy underneath nut access.

I remember that set-up Mudder, but I came across the U-bolts before I made it across the barn to where the conduit hardware was. That and the U-bolts were stainless steel. The conduit clamps are a really good option!

Mine came with this rack. I don't know how I would load a deer or an elk.

How about one of these. You just need to get a 1 1/4" to 2" adaptor for the hitch.


Or one of these, and you just have to back up to a tree.

Debone in field, pack out to P5 and have the largest cooler you could fit on the bottom? Maybe raise the top and make it so you could lift the lid on the cooler so not having to lift it when full (an Rx for a hernia!). Gear gets strapped on top.

What I like about yours for hunting vs. mine is you can get a large cooler on it. My Dusty Dawg is first for our dog, second for hunting. But I can’t get a large cooler into the lower area.

I'll pics when I get it mounted next weekend, but I ordered the Moose Utiilty rear basket today. Walls are taller than I wanted, but the Strongmade was absurdely smaller than the rack. I think it'll work out fine!

This box was on my P500 when I bought it. We took it off and made a bed. It is painted particle board with some type of plastic over the top. Has a lock. Fit the rack perfect. If anyone is near me and interested you can have it. I'm near Harrisonburg, VA. Also travel to our property frequently between Brandywine and Franklin, West Virginia.

I found this aluminum pickup bed extender at the dump’s metal recycling container. In like-new condition.

After seeing it was a little too narrow to build a brush guard on my P5, I gave it to my hunting partner who mounted it on his. Fit like it was meant for the purpose. First use today.

New, they’re under $200 online.

I’m not sure. If you measure from the outsides of the lower rack frame, I’m sure you can find one that fits. Or watch Craigslist, etc. Or ‘dumpster dive’ and swallow your pride! :)
