Maximizing ATV Storage: Pelican Cases and Clever Alternatives


Recommended Posts

When it comes to embarking on thrilling ATV adventures, striking the perfect balance between customization and practicality is key. As you start modifying your ATV to tailor it to your preferences and needs, you might find that you're losing valuable storage space. But fear not! We're here to unravel a storage solution that's been the subject of many inquiries: Pelican cases and their budget-friendly alternatives.

Losing Storage During Customization

It's no secret that as you soup up your ATV with exciting modifications like racks, snorkels, or specialized equipment, the available storage space can shrink. This conundrum has sparked a common question among enthusiasts: "How can I keep my storage capacity while enhancing my ride?"

The Storage Dilemma: Resolved

Enter the hero of our story: Pelican cases. These rugged, dependable cases are renowned for their durability and waterproofing, making them an excellent choice for ATV storage. Not only do they protect your gear from the elements, but they also offer ample space to stow away essentials securely.

However, we understand that Pelican cases might not fit everyone's budget. Fear not! A more economical option awaits. While not as renowned as Pelican, there are budget-friendly cases that offer decent protection without burning a hole in your pocket. These alternatives can be a great compromise between affordability and functionality.

Securing the Solution

Attaching these cases to your ATV is another crucial step. U-bolts come to the rescue, providing a sturdy way to fasten the cases onto your quad. The key here is to ensure a secure fit that can withstand the rigors of off-road adventures. To take it a step further, silicone the holes where the bolts go through. This creates an extra layer of protection against water infiltration, keeping your gear dry even when the trails get muddy.

In Conclusion

As you transform your ATV into the ultimate adventure companion, storage doesn't have to be compromised. Pelican cases offer premium protection for your belongings, while their more affordable counterparts bring similar benefits without breaking the bank. By attaching them securely with U-bolts and employing a bit of silicone magic, you can hit the trails with peace of mind, knowing your essentials are safe and sound.

So, whether you're venturing into the wilderness or tackling tough terrains, your ATV can now carry both the thrill of customization and the convenience of ample storage. Get ready to rev up and ride out – your gear's in good hands!

Remember: Modify, store, and conquer – all in one unforgettable ride!

      Hi everyone. 
      Let me explain the thread title. 
      My husband and I are very active in the nudist community, and we have stayed at many and most of the mainstream nudist and clothing optional campgrounds in the USA. We are now approaching our retirement and would like to start a podcast to share those off the road / backwoods / little known camping areas where nudity is allowed. We have purchased a 5th wheel camping trailer with a rear garage for the ATV and now need some good reports on the one to buy. 
      We are most interested in a side by side unit but would love to get your thoughts. 
      Feel free to stop by and say Hi and ask anything you would like to better understand what we are looking for in an offroad unit. 
      Thanks for reading and hope to hear from you.

      Hello everyone, I just picked up an 02 LT-F250F the other day and have been in the process of tearing it down to fix some stuff- one of which was the cylinder base gasket leaking like a sieve. Well, I know why that is now, and I also discovered that someone had been in there before. I didn't take pictures, but it looks like it was probably run low on oil at some point, the cam journals and the "bearings" (for lack of a better term) in the head and the valve cover are totally wiped out, very deep grooves.  From what I know it's very difficult to repair aluminum in this way, so I'm trying to figure out where to go next.
       
      1. Have someone grind down the head and valve cover and fit actual bearings in since the aluminum is screwed, and have the cam ground down to match.  I have no idea what this would cost.
      2. Buy a replacement head+cam+valve cover.
       
      #1 I was hoping someone might have some advice on, but #2 seems like it'll (probably) be the more cost effective option.  However I'm running into some difficulty, it seems like the 2001 and 2002 models specifically use a different head part number,  11100-19B10, instead of  11100-19B01 like for all earlier models.  What exactly is the difference between them? There are obviously far more of the earlier heads because it ran for over 10 years.  Are they actually interchangeable? I've also noticed there are heads from the LT250EF that has 4 valve heads but also otherwise look identical.  Would those work as well possibly?  I'd like to not have to drop $500 on machine work or new heads on a $1300 quad that I'm already putting a bunch of new parts on.  Oh, and it has a new piston and the cylinder itself looks pretty good too, as I said someone was in here before me.
       
      Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I'll post pics of the carnage tomorrow.

      Hello guys, I hope I am not invading your space, but as you can see the current state of my project here it's not but about 50% ATV. I am hoping that some one here can point me to a wiring schematic that I can reference since the "Complete wiring harness" i purchased from Amazon did not include a diagram of any kind.

      The ones that I am finding on line vary greatly but none show the connections for the separate 5 wire connector coming from the motor.

      Can someone tell me where these wires go?
       
      Thanks in advance for all help!
