Thought I would share some of the mods I have been doing to make getting on the ice simpler and lighter.
Of course my addiction to PVC carries over from my "toon".
I used to carry chairs and and bunches of stuff. It was a heaping mess to try and tie it all in.

Since then I built a box to hold the gear and some of the PVC started to "grow" on the sled.

As we all have seen PVC has a way of multipling and actually grows very quickly.

Then the wooden gear box needed to cahnge and the stadium seat had become more af a hassle so next came the alluminum PVC sided storage/seat box.

Which also doubles as the rod carrier.

The PVC on the rod handle will be changing soon to spring clip, I will share tose pictures when it completed.
If you notice the rod holders on the corners, they pivot and swing so I can have three holes right by the sled all with in reach of the bench seat and can hold the rod when I move to another location.
I will also be putting the sled on skies to get it to pull even easier, and I am planing on having a mount for the fish finder on the sled as well, pictures to follow latter.
The best par is that it all fits in the back of the Cherokee.
