Looking for some advice.
I am getting started on the rear tray section and I have the original rear tray cage which was really rusty so I cleaned it up and undercoated it, at the moment it's not permanently attached and is just resting in place. Should I paint it in desert like the front tray is or should I leave it bare matal ? It looks to me like it was never painted, I couldn't find any paint on it at all and the reference pics I have of ATV's in service all have unpainted rear cages unless someone here has a pic to show me otherwise, Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Finally the wheels are on and for the first time in 4 months 204-208 is sitting on the ground, happy days. Now to source the parts and pouches needed for the complete loadout.

Hello Scottlox and well done on your restoration !

Although I’m not into Polaris, I’m a Land Rover, International and (Suzuki DR250 fan when I can find a military one), just want to say it’s great to see some of the newer gear being collected and restored.

Also it’s great to see REMLR interest spreading into newer vehicles.

Cheers

Phill

Thanks Phil,
Still not finished yet but well on the way. Being an Ex Defence member, I was never interested in collecting anything Military related but for some reason I wanted to bring this back. It has been a most enjoyable experience so far. Now I feel bad for all the vehicle we used to abuse.
