Has anyone purchased a Yukon Expedition Sled box? Looking to order one and was curious if anyone has used one and their thoughts on them. Thank you

Guy , I'd post this in the wilderness trapping forum also , I seen one of them had something similar they got for their snowmobile .

I agree Allan, thanks my friend

No, but I made one out of UHMW

theirs was a bit small for my liking. Price was high from them also, however it's actually fair given the price of material and the time that goes into it.

Nice Hutchy

Good job

Thnx

It's a sort of copy of their design, but imade it a parallelogram so the passenger backrest can fit. It's also a lot bigger, but still really light. Heavier stuff down low, and lighter stuff up high. The ice fishing gear mounts slide out in one second for tight trail travel.

Even when the box has a few beaver in it, center of gravity is way lower than riding two up.

Plus the whole box comes off and goes on instantly with the LinQ system.

Based on the location of the linQ mounts from the pics, I'm not sure a passenger backrest will fit on with the Yes box installed. I wanted that flexibility, so designed the box differently.

Thanks Hutchy that is exactly what I want. I have the 2023 skidoo tundra that has no bar in back but the four black tie downs. I might try to build one also because I want the box to be as long as possible. Excellent pictures

Guy it’s pretty easy to build one. I know you have the skill! You probably have enough odd lumber laying around. I made mine out of plywood and 4 u bolts with plastic tubbing around the bars.removes in 5 minutes. You could probably attach clips on the bottom if you don’t have bars.

Can put 6 fresh coyotes or 3-4 frozen in the box. It would carry enough Marten gear for you. If you don’t have bars you could make it a lot longer

Thanks Les, I agree with you on that and probably go that route. I like the YES boxes but darn I would have to catch alot of marten to pay for it

Hutchy & Les thank you for sharing the great pictures they make me want to try building one for my old snowmobile too !

Guy , you already catch a bunch of marten every year ! You may even find a semi truck bed liner to cut down to the sizes you'd need to make it ?

Here is an aluminum box that I put on my Tundra. On the back is a holder for my chainsaw (powerhead covered with a black stuff sack). One suggestion on whatever you make, it too look at how you mount the Linq brackets on your box. My suggestion would be to mount them so that when they are in the lock position, the lock lever is facing the back of your machine. That way if you are running through, brush nothing can hook on them and unlock them. If something rubs against them as you drive forward it will always be pushing them into the locked position.

I don't have a good picture of mine, but I built it out of 1/4" plywood for weight and fiberglassed it inside and out so it wouldn't soak up water. Make sure you use quality plywood if you go that route or go to thicker plywood. On one I built I used cheap plywood that was given to me and it didnt hold up, even with fiberglass it warped, then I stuck about a 2" limb right through it. Mine has rubber brackets I bought a set of assorted sizes off of Amazon. Have the right size to hold a shovel, Axe, and the one made for a fire extinguisher is just right to hold snowshoes and I made a slot to slide a chainsaw in and one bracket holds the handlebars. Voice of experience, make the lid lift front to back, not from the side. I made one that opened from the side and when you flop the snowmobile on that side the latches are underneath the snowmobile and you can't get at them to open the box to get to your rope along or whatever else you might need.

Thanks so much milkcrate and bearcat2 excellent information. I will build my own now and will think about some designs. I just want something that is solid, doesn’t shift around and can carry all my gear

Couple years ago I was expecting a FedEx package. Roads were drifted in so I ran the Enticer with box to the main road and left instructions to leave package in box. His proof of delivery photo was hilarious. He said “that was a first” the next time I saw him.

Those yes boxes are expensive. The wood ones really will do the same basic trapping function mine will. Carry stuff lol. I just seem to like overdoing everything ha ha.

I held mine together with urethaned oak pieces inside and added weatherstripping to keep snow dust out.

The yes boxes are very nice, but the cost of UHMW alone was pretty staggering, so i understand the high price.

Tough to beat a nicely made plywood box.
