Just got a new one this week end and am wanting to mount the high seat from Uvalde in the bed. Anyone can give me info on how they are doing this? Pics would be great. Thanks

You go first. Show us the high seat.

It should just slide in the bed and you use the existing bolts to bolt it down. I have seen quiet a few of these on hunting rigs. In fact the guys at Custom Machine shop in Sinton is building them out of aluminum. Very nice looking ride. I think the ones from Customs is bolted to the top part of the bed like the one I built for my rig. Very easy to install and remove.

buddy had one built for his polaris last year and the bed wasn't locked all the way - vibrated loose and tore the entire bed off the buggy - I suggest bolting to something solid versus just the floor of the bed - too much weight -
good luck with the dust on a polaris - it almost ruins the whole buggy
You can't fix stupid

Are you running with some type of windshield? That will draw dust into the cab. Will be better with a half or no window. Or you can get a rear window and that will stop it from drawing in.

It will just suck in from the sides... take all the windows off or a soft cab is the only way to keep the dust out
