Old Toon,New mods - toadly - 03-07-2010
I posted about two weeks ago a question about mod a toon to be able to roll. I had a few replies about adding a wheel.(thanks for those) The post inspired me to come up with a bike tire mod, that allows my toon to roll like a wheel barrel. The tire comes off when I get to the water and stows behind the seat.
I then took some inspiration from Tubedude and added some PVC rod holders. (Probabley a bit crude but its my first attempt.)[
] So here are some pics. [cool]

Great idea. I really like your wheel modification. Was that diamond plate original with the toon or did you add it?

Its original,(the diamond plate) I bought the toon at sportsmans about 8 years ago. They are using different materials now, Cheaper I think.

Very nice, but limiting your deck. What is the pipe sticking up about?
No room for battery if you want to put a motor on.

The pipe is what holds the forks shaft. I have considered reversing the pipe so its under the diamond plate, allowing the room for a battery. But for now no motor, the pipe stays up.

I thought that was what it was. Very good idea there. I like those front pole holders.
