Just wondering where you got the rear rack that attaches to the rails?

I designed the Shelter rack and had it made by a Fabricator, the same with the auger rack.

Tmac, don't be afraid to ask, there were a lot of awesome members that helped me with my project. Good luck with your project and keep us posted!

Are those just hitch pins you used to secure the two together?

I designed the rack to mount with the existing tunnel rail system that came with the sled. The pins are stock, they came with the Arctic Cat Tunnel Rails, I think I did have to order a couple of extras? It has been working well.

Saw this and thought I post it here as I didn't want to start a new thread/topic

Give a man a fish he eats for a day .Teach a man to ice fish he has an obsession for a lifetime

That is a pretty good set up. I want to do a similar video on my set up, ice just hasn't cooperated long enough yet. Thanks for sharing!

I finally got the rod holders finished. I also added a tank bag, re-enforced it to support a flasher.

Very nice set up Bart makes you look like a professional ice fisherman. Dave Genz better watch his back.

Thanks, Steve! I don't trail ride, it is strictly an ice fishing machine.

Mr. Genz is pretty much safe, his legacy will be insurmountable. And unlike me, he knows how to catch fish!  ;D

Bart I think both of us would be better ice fishermen if we could spend the time out on the ice that Mr. Genz does each year.  ;D :whistle:

Still needs some modifications but the jist of it is complete. Made out of an old ladder tree stand and had my boss weld the front rack. Not gonna win any beauty contests but she's functional!

Still working on it, but this is the first draft. Since I don't have a metal shop, I use baltic birch plywood, glue, screws, and varnish. Since this photo I have added a holster for the slush scoop in easy reach, one for my knot tier, and for my eyeball remover. I don't use a shelter, and this is everything I need to chase perch on Lake Cascade. The Tundra has a prefect recess to hold my phone and a power brick so I can run Navionics and navigate with lake maps.
