Tool Box, Engine Cover, Fenders - 4x4 Off-Road UTV Build Ep.30

Latest video: https://youtu.be/HCnqOlDd9NgFabricating a special tool box for my chainsaw and accessories. The engine gets covered in safety cage and the UTV finally gets fenders so I'm not going to be sprayed with mud all over ever again. Check it out!

This is part of a series of a four wheel drive utility vehicle build to lessen the work load on my trusty 2002 Honda Foreman Rubicon TRX500FA. This partially answers the question "Why?" but for those who want to ask "why don't you just buy a UTV instead of building one?" I just want to say - I'm not made of money. UTV-s are ridiculously expensive, even the car I drive around daily is worth less (not worthless though!), hell, it is even worth less than my 2002 Honda ATV.

"How much HP will it have?" - the 1.4 litre FWD Peugeot petrol engine I'm using has 55 kw and this will not change, but the torque is tripled via the BMW E39 differentials I'm using to transfer power to front and rear axles.

"It will be too heavy!" - this project just like the firewood processor project does not have to float. And a heavier vehicle will handle better anyway when hauling heavy loads.

All of this fabrication is done in my tiny homemade workshop.
