If you manage to get some pictures, I'd be really interested in seeing the racks and bumper. Not interested in spending $75 to put a front rack on mine...especially not when I have a mig and a plasma in my garage.

Heres the first part of the bumper I'm building. I plan to extend to protect the plastic a little better, but I ran out of shielding gas in the middle.
looks great !!..but..i do have a question..isn't your atv a trx350 ??....if so..why didn't you mount it back under the fender right behind the cooling fan shroud ?..thats where i put mine at..sat it right on top of the frame cross members..of course..i had to fab my own mounting plate..as warn doesn't offer a plate for my year and make..lol

Yeah, it's a 350. I was going to mount it back there, but my front bumper was trashed anyways. I might move it back later on, but it's easier to keep an eye on the cable when its out front like that.
i thought your bikes was....not sure how you haul that around..truck ?..if so..you may not have enough room to fit it in the bed..and close the tail gate !..lol..thats why i wondered why you didn't put it back under the fender on the frame like i did mine. oh well..as long as your happy..makes no difference. i just wanted a cleaner install on mine..and with the warn having the rope..i don't worry about watching it when it winds up...i do like the heavier bumper you made..look's really good...nice work !.
