P500 Things I've built so far.

[Skullmonkey]

I might've just signed up this morning but I've been creeping on you guys for awhile now lol. Figured I'd go ahead an share what all I've done with Ole blue so far. I probably wouldn't have even messed with any of this stuff if it wasn't for a few of you guys doing it first, thanks for the inspiration an helping my bank account survive the new toy lol

Front bumper before the winch.

Front bumper in progress.

Rear basket an rear bumper.

Added a light bar an chainsaw holder.

Rear basket after paint.

Rear basket bout half way done.

I forgot to take pics of the rear bumper while I was building it, all I have is this one after I painted it.

I've since added a few extra lights an a radio but have yet to take any pictures, might do that this weekend.

Welcome! You have done some really nice work! I like the hoop on your front bumper. Has a different look than the typical aftermarket offerings I'm used to seeing.

Welcome here Skullmonkey, you little stinker you, been holding out on us all this time. Guess you couldn't stand it anymore. Looks like @Stacy has been at least one of your inspirations. Very nice work, I love the chainsaw mount, I always carry one with me and have yet to come up with an appropriate mount. Good job on all of it!

 

[Skullmonkey]

Thanks for the warm welcome!! Yeah I seen stacy's bumper, i really like how it protected the lights an front plastic so I figured I'd copy it lol. It's hard to tell in the pic but I wrapped it back around the front of the machine, I'll take a better picture an post it.
This is the first sxs I've owned an wasn't for sure if it would fit on the trails I run so I'm gonna pack a chainsaw with me until I make all the trail suit my needs lol.

Are you a dozer operator too? Looks like a monster. I had a D-5C for a few years to clear pasture and build roads and ponds on my ranch. That would have done me better but out of the budget I'm sure. Btw, @Stacy will be proud.

Great build going Skull monkey! Glad I could be part of the forum and inspire someone else the way the rest of these great members influenced me... I'm flattered!

Welcome to the club skullmonkey. That front bumper looks beefy, good job. Keep the tools out...it never ends.

@Skullmonkey Welcome to the club! Thanks for sharing the pics. I must say the integrated chainsaw holder is a very slick idea, probably the best integrated implementation I have seen yet.

 

[Skullmonkey]

Thanks again guys! Yeah I'm a operating engineer, local 18. I've run just about anything you can think of from a stationary grout pump to a 300 ton crawler crane. The job I'm on now I had been the finish grade guy an that was my dozer at the time, it's a D6T. I screwed up an took a Forman position last summer an now all I do is drive a pickup unless someone miss an I have to cover for them lol. That chainsaw holder is nothing but some flat bar that I bent into a hook an then the bottom is the same flat bar with a couple short pieces welded to the ends of a long piece at 90* then welded to to the square tubing of the basket. The bar slides down into it an holds it in place, all the weight is supported by the hook through the handle an the bottom of the bar laying in the rear basket.
