Armadillo (Out-N-Bak Rack)

[wayoung11]

Hello all, Frist time poster here.

I recently ordered the Armadillo (Out-N-Bak Rack) from www.rockymountainatv.com im sure some of you know what im talking about. Anywho, i opened the package only to find that the out n back rack was for a 300ex and ive got a 2002 400ex. So i put it on my buddies 300ex.

I would like to know if anyof you all have installed this rack on a 400ex. I was also wondering if you needed to drill extra holes through the frame to mount this thing. If any of you all have pictures on an installed out in bac rack on a 400ex it would be great if you could attatch it.

thanks all,

Bill

Here is what im looking for. BUT on a 400ex not a 300ex.

Thought id put up my beast too :) (you know how it is for a first time poster) got to show off the hardware :)

[wayoung11]

I know wanting a picture of this on a 400ex might seem strang b/c i see it on a 300. but i want to make sure it fits as nicely as on the 300. ive seen a picture where it sticks out about 4 inches. and i just want to verify that this is not the case.

thanks

[wayoung11]

you know what guys, i think it will stick out b/c the grab bar isnt designed on a 400 like it is on the 300. on the 300, you can just un bolt it and replace it w/ the out n bac pac. but the 400ex, i dont see where to unbolt it. hummmm

oh...and welcome to the forum:)

[wayoung11]

thanks man, i knew someone would respond. i thought i was talking to my self for a while. Is it possible to get a top view of it like the 300 i took. if not thats ok, i really like the idea of the rack.

Do you take it off and on or do you leave it on all the time?

thanks for the post and the welcome message.

i got an out and back on my 300ex. it is the old style . it is made diferently then that one and alos it has a diferent gas can. here is a pic of mine and welcome to the site.

if you look in the rocky mountain catuloge i belive there is a picture for the out and back rack, and i think it is mounted on the 400ex.

tibal, lights.

[HiperEX]

hey i wouldnt mount them lights to the plastic if thats what yer thinking i got the same brand light ya got there but mine are teh rounded ones i mounted them on teh old mounting spots as teh stock light worked gread i did have to use differnt nuts and bolts cause the stock bolts were to big heres a pic of my lights mounted

[wayoung11]

well, after my friend wrecked his 300, the whole lighting apparatus and handel bars were messed up. I dont have anything left up there to bolt on , and the brackes for the lights are wider than the handel bars, so its either underneath. or on the plastic on top. I plan to reinforce the the plastic under then lights. if i go this route for my friend.

that lil oil problem on the 300 is easy to fix, take the valve cover off the take that cap thing out and put some silicone sealant on it and the problem is over.:p
