Wyo Joe Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Well I spent all my dang money getting guns, so now it’s gun cart time and I’m all out of cash sooooo, looks like the kids are losing their old Radio Flyer wagon I prepped and painted the tub brown, added a plastidipped aluminum stand for rifle and shotgun, case for my pistols that I have a cushion on to use as a seat, bottle opener, and I took an old part from my grill and mounted to the back to hold screwdrivers, sand paper, some other small tools spent about $20 on materials since I already had the wagon and some brown spray paint and plastidip. I’ll wrap up the covered wagon style prop top shortly, but meanwhile I’ve already loaded it with all gear and it’s a nice easy haul of all my gear and didn’t cost me 400-1000 bucks so it’ll work for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tequila Shooter Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Looks cute. Just keep the weight low so it doesn’t get tippy. Also you might want to put some water repellent on the canvas, maybe like a Scotchguard spray to keep everything nice and dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is cute, I’ll take that compliment definitely spraying down with waterproofer. all the weight is over the wheels and due to wheel base there’s no chance of tipping.

Tequila Shooter Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 “Cute” was meant as a compliment. I like your originality and purposeful thought, well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no such thing as a "tip proof cart", especially with an umbrella attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singin' Sue 71615 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Wyo, something you did not mention...a brake stop. If you haven't already...I would put one on your back wheels. A simple L shape metal peace that you can 'toggle'. We want to fashion my golf cart to have a conistgo wagon look! Great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imis Twohofon,SASS # 46646 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Wyo Joe that looks great, just remember, just like guns, none of us finish with what we started. Welcome to the game. Imis suggestion... make a belly pan to carry your ammo- get the CG down low for those rough, side hill ranges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZigMar Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 To the OP, regarding photo #4, above, good of your kids to loan you their wagon already equipped with a beer bottle opener! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imis suggestion... make a belly pan to carry your ammo- get the CG down low for those rough, side hill ranges I figure this will be temporary until I save up for a proper cart… great idea on a belly pan! I bet I could bolt on a small ammo can sideways to hold My ammo nice and lowwwww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyo Joe Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 Now it’s a convertible hahahaha. Easier to mess around inside this way so I don’t have to move the top on and off chopped down the umbrella/rifle holding tube a bit to reduce length sticking out of the wagon when transporting, plus the shorter the upright is the less leverage and less chance of a strong wind tipping the cart when the umbrella is up one coat of waterproofing done on topper, will add one more for safe measure and bolt an ammo can to the bottom and she’s done Fully loaded with gear/guns/ammo/umbrella in pics. Last pic of it setup yikes looks like I gotta clean up this garage ASAP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you again, brilliant thought, still retain turning radius as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeaconKC Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 There is one more thing you gotta do. Paint over the ATW logo and stencil ACME on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
