I should clarify I’m not talking about hillbilly inventions (like that time you duct taped a snow shovel to the front of your machine to make a “snow plow”) but actual nice things you can build or buy. I’ve seen a few so I’m guessing others have seen more.
One is the paracord lead for a winch that connects to the front rack. I like this for a couple reasons. I think with the right colors it looks nicer than the winch cable hanging out. The other reason is that in a pinch it can be unraveled and used for whatever is needed. Plus, it’s cheap and easy to do. You can get them custom made for like $20.
Next is buying a towing sling from from an industrial sling supplier. There’s an ad on Kijiji from a place in Edmonton call Super Slings. For $59.99 you get a 2” hitch receiver (good for 6000lbs), a 3.25T shackle and a 2” x 20’ sling with a 32,000 lbs break force. I’ve seen enough winch cables and cheap slings break that I don’t want anything to do with it. I get free slings from work but wanted to provide something for everyone here to look up or buy.
Last is the Muff Pot. It’s a little pot that bolts to the exhaust of a snowmobile. You can throw your food in there for a hot meal when you’re out riding. It’s been awhile but I swear there’s a “canvas” bag version of this for atv’s. It’s $60 on Amazon and I think the pot one could still work on an atv.
What do you all got?
If I find more unique stuff I will throw it in this thread too.
