did you reinforce the inside walls or did you use the anchors?
Nice lookin custom sleds here!! if i had time would love to build one. I got a Otter Pro which will have to do for now.
With downhill skiis having metal edges on them, what do you do to keep them from rusting? Do you polish and then put wax on them?
Anyone have any pics of a tow bar on a smitty? Looking for some ideas.
My uncle used a wagon. Took off the wheels and built a u bracket onto a pair of ski's used the original axles still, with a quick pin to hold the axles in. Pulled the handle off, and made a new pin, that is long enough for a quick pin too. Still works for a wagon all summer.
Just finished last weekend- towbar for the sled, long rope for early ice- dragged it all over my yard loaded with gear and 10" of snow (Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)only hardware for securing the shelf, tub and crate(Image removed from quote.)Breaks down like a charm, fits perfect in the truck(Image removed from quote.)Really, the end result we are all looking for....spicy lime beer battered perch (Image removed from quote.)
Thanks for the rope hookup and length info! I attached the Rubbermaid Fast Track with short bolts, flat washers, and lock washers; that fit the diameter of the holes that are pre-installed with the Fast Track. In my pics, You see a black sliding cover, that covers the bracket and screws, for a clean look. You have to buy each bracket separately, and they have several styles of configurations to choose from. I throw the four brackets in a bucket for transporting to the lakes, and then just place them on the tracks once there. I knew I didn't want hooks or brackets permanently mounted on the sled, as sometimes I pack a buddy's sled in my truck, and brackets on each side during transport would take up too much truck bed space.
Anyone put plywood across the top of their Smitty Sled for days when you don't want to take out you shanty? With this warmer weather I thought I could mount brackets to the plywood so I could carry my bucket, tackle and auger and be very light weight.
