    $100 Hi-rack!!!

    I have built a roof,windshield,safari rack, and bumper for my arctic cat but realized after hog hunting last weekend with a few friends I was still missing something. I priced a high rack from a dealer near by ($1,000 ), so of course being a tight wad I broke out the welder one more time to try to build a THOUSAND dollar rack for $150.00??? I will keep posting until complete, I hope the pics come out in order because one thing i'm not good at is this computer!
    First material 80'x1"x14ga tubing $40
    1 sheet expanded metal 25
    2 yrds brush country canvas 30
    2 drink holders 16
    misc. wire,sawblades paint 50
    =$161 (so far)

    Here are a few pics so far with it welded and painted, I just finished the seats so I will post pics of them on the rack tonight!!!!

                Heading home with the rest of the material to finish, and a brand new (2 gun) kolpin gun rack to mount on, I think I can rig this gun rack to hold rifle or bow with a little southern engineering. I should have some pics by tonight!

                  The rack is in and bolted, fiished the back seat cushion and mounted but not adjusted the gun rack yet I think this style gun rack might work best? When I get home tonight I'll put the bottom seat together and mount should have finished pics by sat morning just in time for a little hog hunting!!

                              Well here she is finished, I took it out on its maiden voyage on sunday with the family and friends, we didn't get crazy with it but we crossed a couple creeks with it and it didn't seem to top heavy at all, Riding up top was very smooth, I am going to play with the shocks and tire pressure to take what little body roll is there out of it, and if that don't work theymake a sway bar for $60 that will fix it. and as for the $100 to $15o mark I just missed it, I got just under $200 tied up in it. Still not bad!
