Last year I cut a couple wood blocks to fit the curved rails of the bed of my side by side to allow me to mount a cross bed tool box. It worked but this year I felt the need for something a bit more permanent and something that would let me organize a little better. So I welded up a rack that bolts to the bed and holds the tool box.

This is the SxS last year.



This is what I came up with. This is the frame initially welded up.



Then with some expanded metal and a post in each upper corner to carry snares and extension cables.



The SxS loaded and ready to trap. Pockets behind the tool box hold snare supports and bungees secure the snares and extension cables on the rails in the upper corners. The toolbox will hold 4 dozen #3 CS. I can get two totes of waxed sand and my setting tools in the space between the box and the tail gate. There’s a small tote under the tool box with extension chains and several drags. There’s also extra snare supports under the toolbox. My catch pole and death ray secured to the expanded metal.



Shovel and trap release tool ride up front and still have room for a stack of coyotes. I had 7 on that rack one check last season. Hoping to have ten on it a few times this year.

Dang Marty you've been busy! Sweet work and great looking rig!
Have you had any issues with your Arctic Cat?

Nice work
