milk crates

Post by Late Bloomer »

Not all milk crates are the same size and shape.... I have 2 yaks and it took different size crates to fit in the space provided in each of the yaks. Just saying, don't go to too much trouble and expense until you know the crate is going to fit nicely.

on the scrambler, shave off the ribbs on the side/bottom of a standard milk crate w/ a grinder and it will fit perfectly and snug in the rear tankwell.

Just finished grinding my milk crate down like broken skeg and it works perfect, it dosent sit all the way on the bottom so all my stuff doesn't get wet and it fits very snug. Great idea and have had a lot of use out of it already. Thanks
