Bigger Tool Box

[Doibugu2]

I was wondering does anyone know if they make a bigger tool holder for a 400? I want something with about twice the capacity as the stock one. I would like to be able to carry a tow strap. Everytime we go out it seems one of us is always getting stuck. Let me know.

one of the guys we ride with carries his tow strap on the front bumper. He just straps it right on. You really dont neeeeed a special box for it.. and its really easy to get it off and back on. use some velcro belts or something..

Talk to 4punksdad. He has a really good one that he made on the front of his. It can hold alot of stuff.

Yea, I'm working on one based off a pic of his I saw.. 4" ABS plastic pipe.. finding the pipe part w/o having to buy 10' of it is the problem..

Let me know if you find anything. I'm looking for one as well. To hold my water. :)

i wraped a little bit of electrical tape around my front bumper to keep it from sliding out the sides and it holds a 32oz bottle of water. the only problem i have is remembering to put a blottle in before i go ride.

A 64 oz gatorade bottle fits upsidedown right in front of the steering stem without falling out, try that.

And get one of those camelback things. They hold 70ounces. Or if you're really thirsty get one of the big f'n coolers that has wheels on it and get some tow straps. Tie that freakin' cooler to your grab bar and your set. Watch out for the mud bogs. :huh

good one knighttime lol!!! the sad part about it is i have actualy tryed it!!! it didnt work out verry well the handle came off and it shook up all the drinks lol it fugured it was worth a shot...just get a 6 pack rack that would be easier...my 2 cents

i used a 4" peice of pvc pipe.Works great and holds alot.Use tie wraps to hold it on right behind the bumper.Its out of the way there and dont move.If you dont want to buy a 10' peice go to a plumbing shop or a job site where they have a plumber working,they usally will just give you a peice big enough to work,may want to offer them a couple bucks for it though.you can even get the clean out and end cap from em.

i saw in dirtwheels once a guy took an old exhaust gutted it out and put it where the tool box was. Seemed like a good idea. maybe you should try it.

heres mine

Most hardware stores will sell you a piece of ABS or PVC instead of making you buy a whole 10' piece.

what you can do is find a stock or after market silencer and mount it on the other side just like a stock silencer, it will hold a 1 liter bottle of water and other things in it also, plus i think it looks great, like you have dual exhaust

yamaha 1470 or whatever it is, i saw that exhaust thing too. looked real cool. almost like dual exhaust

you might need glue also.........but mine fit tightly so I didn't glue it.
