P1000 Rear Cargo Storage

[H2oFowler]

Just thought I'd share an inexpensive cargo carrier I installed today. Picked up both the dual hitch mount and atv cargo carrier at Harbor Freight (20% coupon of course) for around $65 bucks.
Gives me ability to tow trailer and carry more junk when needed. Bed still dumps with no interference.

That looks good especially higher. We had close to that setup and works great. One word of caution try not to overload the rack because even though the receiver is rated at a couple hundred pounds it's meant to be more straight down weight from the tongue of a trailer. A basket further out with the same amount of weight probably doubles that because of the pendulum effect. The receiver isn't the most solid part of the Pioneer.

Makes perfect sense and I appreciate it.
Don't plan on carrying more than coolers, 14 gallon sprayer and hunting gear on occasion.
Thanks!

Well it should do that just fine. Just didn't want that receiver to be an issue for you

I like that! Alot easier to mount than my XL bed extender lol. Sometimes quick install is the way to go.

Put my rack together yesterday. Need the dual mount to extend out far enough that the tube dosent hit the muffler shield then ill be in business. Im sure the stuff on the rack might take a beating from rocks/mud but that will give the yeti some character

It was $45 dollars for rack and $25 for dual hitch mount.

I'd suggest buying an anti rattle pin like this below. Cheap overseas dual hitch has lots of movement and this fixed mine from rattling and driving me crazy.

Thanks waterfowler...i just ordered it. Have you loaded it much? Noticed any change in ride? I havent had a chance to load mine but id assume the self leveling suspension would help? Not planning on putting more than a loaded cooler on mine but, coldbeer gets heavy!

I was wondering how much that hitch would rattle.....figured it would drive a man crazy at low speeds.

So this all reminds me...

I just have a solid shaft 3 ball hitch in mine right now.. this past weekend I noticed going down the trial when the rear suspension would compress it felt like I had something rubbing the tread on the tire. I could feel it but I couldn't find it. I finally stopped and looked and crawled all under it... just happens to pull myself up by the hitch and gave it a good shake. Sure enough, it was only rattling when I would hit a large enough bump and at just the right angle and speed.

Hadnt tried it out much as of yet. Don't think I'll have much more than a loaded yeti and some gear for the most part so let you know after this weekends use.
Thanks

That anti rattle piece is great... I have used them for years on other vehicles and former Rhino.

Can someone tell me the size of the receiver on my 2017 1000-5? My rig is at my cabin so I can't go measure it. I am assuming 2"?

H2oFowler is this the cargo rack you bought: 300 lb. Capacity ATV Cargo Carrier

And is this the extender: Dual Hitch Extender

thanks!
