Home Made Lock & Ride Tie Downs for Polaris RZR

Has anyone made any lock & ride tie downs for their RZR or other Polaris models?

Thanks,

I knew there was something over "there", but the search function doesn't seem to work very well for me...

Thanks for linking to it Slopoke.

No problem Greg, glad to be of help.
Yampol I bought the expansion plugs mentioned in the link and put an eye bolt through them with a fender washer on top of the plug and a small flat washer and nut on the bottom.
I put some rubber dip primer on first and after it dried dipped it in rubber black dip to match the rzr.
The dip paint wears off after a while and is an option but I had it already so wth.
Just don't tighten the nut down too tight or you may crack your bed plastic. I put them in the hole and then turned the eye bolt to tighten as I had a crescent wrench on the nut below the bed.
I think these ended up costing me an hours time and 5 bucks each for 4 of them. Way better than the Polaris price.
Dont forget to make a parking brake...you will need it.

Thanks slopoke. Made the first one last night. Only got enough material for one. It appears to work, so I am going later today to purchase more.

Which one did you end up making

I used a pc. of grey pvc 1/2" conduit. I rough measured the length and after looking at the brake pedal felt the best way would be to notch one end of the counduit so it would wedge onto the pedal lever. I did this with a hacksaw followed by needle nose pliers to clean the notch up a little.
The upper end I cut to length after pushing the brake down all the way to get the correct measurement.
I think this process took 10 minutes total including an adult beverage which is where the story gets twisted.
I then thought how to secure the conduit in the vehicle and how much easier it would be to use something already in the vehicle.
So I took the pin out of the t-handle for the co-pilot and decided to cut a similar notch in the end of it with my die grinder.
Then I took an extra ram mount for my gps which is held on by a u-bolt and wrapped it around the tilt steering cylinder with the ball of the mount facing the drivers seat. Perfect fit right in the groove and now I can use the t-handle for a brake if needed. btw I also bought the napa cable which mounts to the dash but now I have no need for it.
I got a heater-defroster as a gift for plowing my families driveways this winter and will mount that where the napa cable was intended.

So you don't carry or use the PVC piece at all now?

Wacker. I used a Hillman expansion plug, and a 5/16 x 31/4 eyebolt and of course some fender washers. This works pretty good, but I still want to experiment some more.

Well I took a little ride on the trike to Tractor Supply and purchased the following. I bought a 1" snap plug, a 5/16" x 3 1/4 " eyebolt, a 5/16" x 1 1/4" fender washer, a 5/16" self locking nut, and the other washer I had. All cost less than 5 bucks. I took the snap plug apart and inserted the eyebolt with the fender washer on it into the rubber from the snap plug, a washer and the nut. The pictures show the parts, the finished product, and in use. Looks and works pretty good.

Nice finished product... without the "RZR Tax"

Cool pictures & install.

Here's another option if you order anything RMATV.com

$6.99 / PAIR

Tusk Cargo Anchor | Rocky Mountain ATV/MC

anyone order a pair of the rocky Mountian ones?? only thing I think I would change on them is to put a wood nut with the barbs on the bottom that way you can just tighten them on not have to get a wrench on the bottom. Yampol how is the one from TSC you made holding up??

The ones from Rocky Mtn. are better, and about the same price without shipping.
