Here is my Honda Rancher. I am currently working on my Frabill Predator adding compartments and lights to it that will be towed by this.

It's custom/mod, the auger rack is built off of a stock sport bumper which is installed as recommended.

Been wanting to do this to the Ranger since I got it. Found these on CL last summer for a deal. Had to Mod the mounts a little but It should be sweet. Just need some cold now.

Here's my rig set up without the Yukon, ice sled, studded tires or auger hooked up. Once the season begins here in, I'll have photos of the full set up ;) I need to make up a new ice box but not for this season. The one on there now is about 10 years old so a new improved ice box is much needed. My next one will be 3" shorter, made out of 1/4" plywood and sealed and painted much better.

I just asked because it wasn't clear whether you were waiting to trade in your kids or the sno scoot.

Just an old 2wd polaris, screws in the tires, same rack extender in front that I mount the auger to.  I live less than a mile from 2 different lakes and am planning on just wheeling down the road with the shack on the back.  I will use a cover and of coarse strap the otter very well.

Here is my  2011 Tundra Sport 550 with 2 Rotopax fuel packs and a Ram handle bar mount for my Gps. I still have to retro fit my auger rack from my old Tundra. Now if we could get some snow and ice I'd be good to go.

My lake jumping setup. Honda 450 Foreman, Frabill suitcase hut, 7'' auger, pulled behind my TDI jetta for further drives and in the bed of my F250 for local lakes. This is a fun thread, nice seeing others setups!

This is my set up for loading my four wheeler into the truck.

Once it's loaded I turn the shanty 90 degrees so that it fits in the rack and rests on the seat. I tried driving down the road with it loaded like the first picture but it acted like a Sprint Car wing so I had to turn it 90.

Took the new Polaris out for the first time yesterday. Logged over 20 miles riding my friends pasture. I had concern about it only being a 550 air cooled. Didn't know if it would have the power to get through nasty conditions with two people and towing a sled full of equipment. Those concerns died very fast. The 550 has more than enough power, ride is very comfortable too. Only weighs 550lbs. Can't wait to get to use it on the ice. The modified trailer worked very well too. This is a stock pic of the new ride, Polaris 550 IQ LXT.

Wow, nice machine Stevek! If I were looking to buy a new sled, that would certainly be a contenter. I've always wanted a Tundra, but I've also never owned a SkiDoo, so it'd be hard to leave Polaris. That sled looks every bit as good as a Tundra and maybe better. All my trail sleds have been Polaris. Owned 5 of them now, my current sled is a 2002 700cc Edge X. Bought for mostly trail use, now sees more ice fishing duty than anything. I can't afford to trail ride anymore, so I do one good trail trip a year. Should be able to start using that thing soon! The new 550 fans are pretty strong machines, no lack of power. And with a long, wide track... you'll be able to go through some seriously nasty conditions.

Thanks Doctorgee. It's actually only a 15" track, but it is 136" and lightly studded. Came with 4" carbides too. Best part was the price, I paid 6200 for a new in the crate 2011 polaris with hand warmers, electric start(+ pull) and electric reverse.

here is mine, a Kawasaki Brute Force 650.  Me and a buddy took our wives, so the sled had the extra comforts for good eats and to make them more comfortable.  If it is just me (no wife) I can get everything on the wheeler.  The box on the back holds most things, and it comes off to go on a base with skis so I can pull it out by hand if I can't use the wheeler.  Here is a pic of that before it got painted.  works great for a table to work off of.
