| I have been trapping the last few years and have been using my quad and truck. I like the truck cause its more comfortable but the quad i can get to more places quicker. But im just wondering what do the majority of you guys use do you like trapping off of quads or you your trucks?? Thanks | |

| Quad my self. They are a lot cheaper to fix and like you said they are much quicker from set to set. I have thought about buying a little toyota as a trap truck but I still don't think I would get some of the places I go on the quad. | |

| Quad for sure! Take a beating alot better than your truck. Alot faster set to set and you can go places that you will never get your truck in. I run about 250miles in the truck and about 65 on the quad. It takes me most of the day but with out the quad it would be a 2 day trapline for sure. | |

| Well thanks for the comments. Might just fully run the quad from now on and less beating on the truck. | |

| My buddy built a cab for his quad that he uses for trapping and it works pretty good. Im thinking about doing the same and just put a cab on mine to block out some of the wind. | |

| In my early years, I trapped off a Honda 250 motorcycle. Graduated up to a 3 wheeler and used it for many years. Now I trap from a quad. I do use my pick some on good road areas, but the quad makes getting to those spots a regular vehicle can't go, very easy. I find more sign and trap locations using the quad. A cab wouldn't be a bad idea, but just wondering how you would keep the inside of the front window from steaming up??? | |

| I like the your setup with your quad. The cab my buddy built didnt have ddoors but if i build one i will make removalable doors and put a sliding window on each side or something for ventalation. | |

| I have a windshield from an old quad and will see if it fits the new one. I forgot I had it until you showed the picture of yours. Thanks for the idea. | |

| nvsage, I see you use a tool bag for your setting equipment like I do. They are the handiest item for that. The one I have has outside pockets to keep my scent in and away from my digging tool, etc. Is the front rack steel or aluminum? | |

| Steel tried aluminum and it bent way easy under the weight of the traps and wax dirt | |
