cooter Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 as the topic says i have been looking to buy an old quad for a few years now but when i have the money there isnt any thing suitable for sale, but i happen to come across a young bloke the other day selling one that has been set up for shooting rifle racks and rest included and he happened to be wanting to buy a motor bike for the farm so we did a clean swap i ended up with an 89 model suzuki lt4wdk 300cc in fairly good nick has been well maintained he got my old trusty ts250x which was a bloody good bike but not usefull to me any more. im looking for some mods to make the quad alittle more hunting friendly i am thinking water storage and fuel storage at a minimum what has every one else done to there quads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

len Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 For fuel storage I carry two 10 litre red plastic fuel containers - spectre made good ones For water storage I carry up to two 5 litre black plastic containers I use the heavy duty black plastic containers that are sold for fuel storage mostly used as diesel fuel storage containers these are very strong and wont crack on rough roads Add a few good quality tie-down straps and your on your way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenring Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Can you hook an auxiliary power jack up - for a small compressor or spotlight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooter Posted March 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 took some pics of the quad all i need to do is recover the seat and wire in my compressor and spotty still not certain as to which direction to go for water storage either an insulated water jug 5L or pvc pipe i have a small toolbox that i mounted tonight and im putting an esky on the front which will be home made from alloy or steel with coolroom foam as insulation unless i can find a low line plastic job also i am welding another rifle rest above the gum mount as the one that is on it means that you have to lay across the tank meaning you would be at an awkward angle and the recoil from my 300 win mag would cause a scope to eyebrow incident Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
