How do you haul your ice fishing gear on an ATV

I don’t have nearly enough stuff for the large, but I’ll figure a way to manage.

But think of all the beer you can stuff in the extra space.

I don’t dring anymore.

Actually I did and had the same thought as Matt.
I was trying to decide if you meant drink, which I knew possibly couldn’t be, or bring.

Then put it on my wheeler! I have enough!

Matt and I got the box secured tonight. She’s pretty hot looking. I can only imagine how much stuff I’m gonna have to pack to fill it up.

iv done it this way for years

How about a pic. of the new acquisition.

Not great, but they are all I got with the cell phone this morning on my way out the door.

Once I get her loaded up and ready for the weekend, I’ll take some better pics.

Looking good!!

I don’t think it is big enough for that tub of empties!

are you going to add some ballast on the front to keep you from popp’n wheelies? All that weight back there you are sure to end up on youtube in one of those loading accidents.

I’ll be sure to pack the beer after it’s loaded in the truck. Otherwise I’ll just get Grow to sit on the front rack…

Who carries theses otter boxes? and where could I look at one?

Matt Grow provided a link on page #1.

The beer is sold separately.

I couldn’t talk Matty into getting into the box last night for a photo Op. I’ll try again this weekend, may take a few more beers…

that carrier looks very nice. Where did you get that one and, if you don’t mind me asking, how much was it?

James,

The cargo box is a Polaris product.

The saddle bags are sold separately and they also have a

padded backrest that mounts to the box. You can see the

top of the backrest in my pic.

I like the ease at which it can be installed or removed

with the expanding anchors that fit into the “Lock & Ride” holes in the back deck.

Prices are listed in my link and are negotiable at your

preferred Polaris dealer.

Yup we did good Koot,…….And yours is a box I’ll never venture into.

Dave1 can you ride 2 people on a 4 wheeler with that otter monster box I can’t till from the angle

Yes, as long as you trust your buddy.

I have a typical drop basket on the back rack on my ATV, and it works.

I’ve been known to haul gear in an Otter sled, and when there’s no snow I’ve used my Otter SuperX trailer to haul the Otter Lodge and all the gear. It actually works slick and no wear on the fishhouse sled.

I use an inexpensive Kolpin Scout Rear storage box that can hold my 8″ camera, flasher, Ion battery warmer and a small cooler for food and drink. It only cost about $60 and it’s super light weight. I use a Digger mount on the front rack for the auger as well as 2 ratchet claws by Kolpin that I haven’t used yet. I keep the otter rodbox in my sled along with my older buddy heater with the non-foldable handle, newer folding handle design might fit in the box as well… I try to stay as light weight as possible, I’ve looked into the Otter Monster boxes, but they seem too big and bulky (43 lbs) for me…If I truly need more hauling space I can always unhook the single place Floe trailer from the truck and hook it upto the quad…

Do trax require studs to work well on bare ice like that?

Studs would make it awesome, but without you can still get around.

I had a custom aluminum rack made for the two man house and with the digger auger bracket everything rides safe and sound.
