that does look super clean. i'm debating between that one or the craigerbuilt one from wps.... i dont know!!
The bumper has holes in the bottom, Cat sells several things that use the holes for attachment, I put the rubber mat from the 08 M on mine and then use the strap kit sells, I was worried it would not work but it has been very secure for 1000 miles so far

I use the craigerbuilt. Holds 2 gal. and the storage pouch holds a tiedown and a 12 foot tow strap w/ a shackle..

the mtn addiction and the craiger both look nice!! i saw that cat has the strap they offer which would be nice since you don't have to drill into the tunnel but i dont know how secure that would be.

What he said, its cheap, adaptable and multi use.
Counting the gas can I have like 15 bucks in straps and a can. For a long trip I can add a bigger can or pack other gear. Its the way to go unless you trying to win a parking lot Beauty contest, or keep up with the smiths

well since i'm riding the sled, beauty isn't a factor and i dont' care about keeping up with anyone but i want something easy to use as well. having a caddy that is sliding around or not secure worries me. plus i want it to be quick and simple when it's time to fill up. i had the ski doo caddy on my rev which was secure but a pain to get the straps back in place when everything was frozen.

Some folks have a very specific look they desire..........
I am more concerned about function....the one thing I plan to add is a mat
Happy riding
heres a pic with the small can. If needed I can fit a 5 gal. pictured is a 1 1/2.

i think i've decided on the craiger built caddy with the arctic cat small mountain bag that hooks into the rear bumper and tunnel. it's a 162 so i might as well put the tunnel space to good use!

All I did was drilled out the 2 rivets that are lined up on both sides of the tunnel right in front of the cooler on the back. Then I bought four 3/16 eye bolts and washers with lock nuts, then I trimmed off the excess of the bolts underneath the tunnel. Looks good, holds strong and can be taken off and replaced with stock rivets. All together parts and 2.5 gallon gas can cost $13 bucks.
