I just bought another 2024 Polaris 570. I looked for a box on Amazon but the price was ridiculous. I went to harbor freight and bought a nice lockable box for 39.00 and put 4 ibolts in the sides and silicone to make it waterproof. I have 4 ratchet straps holding it secure with no wobble. I love it
Glad I found this video. Soon going to do this to a lounger. I was trying to figure out how the heck I can line up the drill holes with the anchor. I think I’ll get cardboard, take the knob off and puncture them in from where the anchors go. Also I was about to use a hole saw for the cut, the 1/4 bit with washer is definitely the way to go haha.
If you’re concerned about the bounce, you could cut a piece of plywood as an insert in the box and thread the bolts through to stiffen it up. Overall nice addition! Looks somewhat funny without any visible anchoring
Great video. My only thought is now you have 4 knobs in the way on the bottom of the box which would make it difficult to place things level in the box. I prefer to use bolts myself and use a folded towel on the bottom of the storage box to cover the bolt heads. Been doing it that way since my first new quad back in '06.
Hardware stores sell something like that for pipe plugs don't know if it would work the same but at least an idea. I saw the video you did with the Stoney Ridge Farmer now has over one million views. People are starting to catch on to the ram pump idea.
Please make a large solid piece of thin plywood or some thin iron plate or big washers inside the box, because it will other ways break the box sooner or later when it always rattles quite a bit! My box is stronger material and as I earlier say, I use nylon pins to align it not moving, but also 4 straps ( 2 back and 2 on each side to tighten it!) 👍
Considering the bounce challenge you have driving on your property. I would consider making to metal pieces to reinforce the plastic bottom of your box. As I watched I was thinking of maybe 2 1/8" thick strips of metal. shaped like a wide u \________/ clamp together and drill all four holes so they match dead on. Then place one metal strip on the bumper of your ATV. Take a look at the clearance between the metal and the cover of the ATV and maybe use bondo or something to mold a piece that will remove any space between the top of the plastic cover and the bottom of the metal strip. Place your box on top and then place your metal strip on followed by the knobs. Its a little bit of work however I think it will reduce the wear and tear on both your fender and the box. As an after thought, make a piece of 1/4" plywood the shape of the inside bottom of your box and cut a few strops of wood the same thickness as the depth of the knobs and lay them in the bottom of the box. Make enough so that when you place your new plywood box bottom over the knobs what ever you put in your box will not bounce on the knobs (possibly damaging what you are hauling). You might also be able to drill holes in the plywood box bottom so that you can run paracord to make tie downs so things don't jumble around on you when driving over rough terrain. Hope that helps.
@@LandtoHouse They were using those on passenger seats. Over time where the passenger leans back, they would eventually break loose and the passenger would fall backwards. I’m sure for what you use it for, it’s fine
You could have made your install easier by just unscrewing the plastic rack and then put it on the bin while its upside down. As for those fasteners, I bought some and despise them. They are vastly inferior than the polaris ones. But hey, I got 4 for the price of 1 polaris one. But seriously, after a few uses, the rubber deform and they are a struggle to remove.
