How much weight did it add and I,m guessing one still could utilize the dump bed.Interested in one for my 610 mule.

If it sits down after you put in the high rack just adjust the shock adjusters to make it sit back level.
Shhhhhhhh better to be quiet than remove all doubt..

It's 1.25" 14 gauge tubing, the angle for the mounts are 3x2x3/16". Underneath it will have 2"x1/4" flat bar to hold the bolts I fabbed out if all thread to secure it down. I'll get pictures of the way I mounte it once I clean it up with the flapper wheel.

I can't wait to get this back. I bet it will sit pretty level. I also have a 3 inch lift I am putting on this to help with some ground clearance issues.

As it sits now I can't tell any difference in how it sits, it definitely isn't sagging. I only have maybe 15 lbs of metal to add to it

It doesn't look like to me that it is going to sag. Mike it looks really good.

Hey just a question, are you worried about the weight sitting on the side rails spreading the plastic apart to where the tailgate will not shut? Nice work!

Hey just a question, are you worried about the weight sitting on the side rails spreading the plastic apart to where the tailgate will not shut? Nice work! Honestly it never crossed my mind, but Polaris makes racks that mount on the rails too so I dont suppose it will become a problem. Maybe if two of me were sitting in it for a while...

Real nice job. I particularly like the ladder. I just got a Ranger and, at my age, climbing into the bed to load corn is a challenge. With something like that, I could climb in, sit & rest a while, shoot a hog, then go about loading corn.
I love multi-tools.
That looks like a professional job. Did you ever consider making them for sale?

Very nice. I was gonna actually copy your idea but for a rhino. I started adding up the cost and it seems really reasonable until i get to the seats. What did they cost you and do you know anywhere i could get a bench instead of individual seats.

The seats cost me around $65 a piece. You could get cheaper ones but i wAnted the high back. One thing i would tell you is dont skimp on the seats. Get the best you can.

I want to use my Ranger to load a platform feeder. I need a ladder and raised step (like the seat platform). After looking at the tubing, My guess is yours probably weighs no more than a couple bags of corn.
The finishing touches (raised shooting bar etc) are the work of a pro.
What is your source for the tubing? I priced Home Depot first & decided that is not the place to go.

I had Ramball36 build this for me. If I was you I would talk with him. He is a great guy to deal with and does great work. He also sells the raw metal.
