Has anyone used copper? The smaller O.D. would work well for my installation. Copper or rubber....what size do I need? Is 1/4" diameter large enough? Thanks

Well I finally got the aluminum treadplate installed. I've got some caulking to do them comes the heater.

Nice Job!!! I like the diamond plate trim it really sets it off nice. The whole thing looks like it's coming together for ya. Enjoy yourself and be proud, she's a bute!

I spent some time this weekend wiring up some clearance lights on the fenders (yellow forward, red back). The blue wire is a cold-weather extension cord that stays flexible in very low temps. I used last winter to plug in my truck and it was always flexible. I also pimped the wheels with some stainless steel hub covers and stainless steel lug nuts.

I used Epoxy for the floors in my fish house and was very happy with the final product. I had the concerns as you, not wanting to put carpet in because we will be carrying a 4-wheeler in there and my old house had carpet and it would never dry out the whole weekend. We actually put a clear coat and silica sand down over it which creates a non-slick finish. Let me know if you have any additional questions...

bigfishin21,
I am definitely interested, can you post some pictures? What epoxy did you use? Have you hauled the atv on it yet? Thanks for the info.

I will try to get some pictures this weekend for you. However, I might need your email address, because I do not know how to post pictures on this website. The epoxy is normal Garage Epoxy. I have not hauled the 4-wheeler yet, but there will be no problems hauling it...

The only thing that I am going to have to do more than likely is get a mat to put under the 4-wheeler because I don't want to take off the chains each time I am traveling. The 4-wheeler chains are a pain is the #$% to get on, especially when it is -10 degrees out...

bigfishin21,
Pictures would be great, I'll post them here if you don't mind. My email is fearingtrende at hotmail.com

Also, Fleet Farm sells heavy duty rubber mats for cattle that would work great under the atv. There are multiple sizes, 4x6 or 4x8 should work well. I plan to get one after I figure out the rest of the floor. Thanks
