Im with you on the milk crate idea! I even trimmed off of the top alsoabout 2 inches for a more desired height. They are the best when it comes to clean up.

An old Igloo cooler doesn't work to bad either!

Home Dump, has plastic tool boxes, with latches, that work good for things you want to keep dust free and dry.They are about 7 bucks, and can hold quite a bit of stuff. I think Menards has them too.

I don't know if it's nationwide either but Sportsman Warehouse is a great source for ATV bags amoung other gear. I think they have a web site too.

I bought a rear bag at Wal-Mart for around 30.00. It even came with the padded seat. That's hard to beat.

I don't know if GI Joes is nationwide or not but I just found that they have bags for your utility ATV racks for less than half the price of the Suzuki and Honda dealers. I got a large bag with three compartments for the rear rack for just $50. The Suzuki dealer wanted $120. The bags looked the same.

Yeah, you could use just any old cheap bag for storage but I like the way the bags designed for ATV's have tie-downs in perfect spots to attach it to your rack. Also, it's nearly exactly the same size as the rack so it fits perfectly.

Well now I feel like an idiot for wasting $50 on that bag when I should have gone with the milk crates!

Maybe I can take the $50 bag back to GI Joes . . .?

Those sound great wal mart had some atv products in awile back. I bought gas tank saddle bags for 19.88 in blk and a couple different camo patterns. Ihave bought arear bag before from quadboss and it was ok but what I use now is 3 milkcrates connected togeather with zip ties. TO DO THIS CUT ONE SIDE OUT OF THE OUTSIDE BOxes and two sides of the middle boxes drill multipule holes inthe sides to zip tie them together. The work great for utility use and are flexable for tight trails and best of all cheap.

I thought I invented it to until I showed my dad, he informed me that he had done the same thing on his b-dozer to carry his chain saw and other stuff along time ago. Welcome to the club

I also bought the Wal-Mart atv Bags but I bought the whole kit they sell. It came with handle bar gloves, saddle bags, front bag that I used on the rear, and fender bag all for like 50 bucks. I didn't use the saddle bags though because it was uglee and got in the way of my shifter.

When I'm not hunting I like to take all the bags off so the clips are nice as it comes on and off with a snap. I don't like my ATV all burdened down with bags and crap and weight everywhere.

I've been tempted to buy one of the plastic boxes wal-mart sells then just drilling a couple of holes in the bottom and bolting them on, but it would be a bit of a pain to remove so I haven't . Maybe some wing-nuts? My dad uses milk crates so chaulk another one up to them
