I looking for some storage ideas. I think there are so.e great take aways here. I will use seadeck after the bedliner. Also I am a ham radio operator. And a go box is in my future. I can see this being modular.
I went with the 750 KQ 750 for several reasons, but probably at the top of the list was that it is the largest displacement engine of the Japanese ATVS. I wanted to stick with Honda, Yamaha or Suzuki for their reputation of reliability. I ended up going with Suzuki because they offered a large engine, differential lock in the front and they had the best incentive at the time. I would have been equally happy to go with the Yamaha Grizzly, but at the time they didn’t offer much in the way of cash back. Honda’s biggest engine ATV (Rincon) doesn’t have power steering, differential lock and is a smaller motor. I will be doing a review/ comparison on the pros/cons and basic differences between the Grizzly, Sportsman 570 Trail and the KQ very soon. Also my video “Long term review” will give more insight on why I chose what I did. Thanks for watching!
I threw these on the scale and each one is coming in at twenty pounds. They are heavy but very stout! I know that you could cut some weight if you used a thinner board like 1/2 inch plywood. I used 3/4 inch since that is what I had around the shop. Also, I basically used a half of 2x4x8 for each going around the edge. That too will add a fair amount of weight and could be eliminated.
I like the guru bumper better. At the moment I can’t say exactly why because I haven’t seen the factory one in quite awhile but it seems to me that the overall quality of the guru bumper impressed me when compared to the factory option. When I get a chance I will take another look at the factory on to give you a better answer.
