10 dollar, 10 minute track stand!

[jimmyhighway]

Thought there might be a few penny pinchers on here looking for a track stand solution. No interference with snow flap. This is made from a scrap 8ft 4x4. $10 dollars max. for materials, 10 minutes to make cuts and assemble. I don't want to hear any $10K sled to cheap to buy a stand comments. The money is in the sled where it should be.

thats a good idea when i make mine i am going to screw on some cup holders to keep my beers firmly secured my days i setting beers on the seat well working on my sled and them falling off are solved and finding 2x4s to hold up my sled are over

Cut a small/shallow V-notch in the top of the 4x4 so the bumper doesn't slide off.

Good idea, care to share dimensions and angles of cuts? Sure would save me some time! Thanks

Good job! That's a decent piece of work that looks like it servers its purpose well!

Dimensions are in the pic below. The base is 1/2" plywood but 3/4" would be even better. All angles are 30 degrees hence the triangulation.

Does the sled want to slide off when you warm her up?

I like that design. The "store bought" stand I have bends the flap in way too much.

I just made mine,Not sure if it works because my sled is at my friends house.

Thanks Jimmyhighway!!

Let me know how it works out guys. So far the stand is suprisingly solid. I think 3/4" ply base would make it even better. I use it to service the sled although this is probably not recommended.
