P700 Who’s building there own mods ?

[Headhunterf100]

Who’s actually building there own stuff ? Or everyone buying bolt ons. I try and build the majority of my own stuff, having a Cnc plasma table helps a fair bit though. Looking at all the “off the shelf” parts looks like most is fairly simple to fab up. First up for me will be a custom cage so I can get it in my enclosed trailer.

I'm going to build a tailgate extender for mine. Haven't found one that extends back as far as I'm needing and I can build it a lot cheaper.

You bet...I build stuff...whatever I want...some things turn out better than others but they all mostly work. I need a rear roll bar over the back of the 700 bed. A muffler shop will do the bends and I weld it up...been doing it since my first one on a VW beach buggy in 1970. Just built a canoe and kayak trailer for my 17' Esquif Cargo 16' Old Town Penobscott and 2 kayaks...beats putting them on the roof and too big for the truck beds.

No fancy equipment here, just a 4 1/2" grinder and welder and lots of time, but I prefer to build my own.

I built this last weekend. It fits in the bed of my 700- 2 , 21 pioneer. Holds lots of gear.

I build most of my own stuff. So far front bumper and rock sliders.
Next on the list is to pull the dump bed and build an overland bed/ rack system

Just looking for some design ideas for what works and what don't.
I'm almost always solo

What did you make your top out of? I've kinda stole your idea. we just get a lot of wet weather hear. and I spend 5 to 6 weeks every fall at hunting camp so I need to figure out something that will hold up to snow and water setting on it
