Even the Can-Am Defender HD10's big bed fills up fast with tools, coolers, fence supplies or a harvested deer. Hood Rack Charlie turns the hood into a 250 lb steel cargo basket, giving you about 50% more storage and keeping rifles, packs and daily gear right in front of you where they're easy to grab.
Highlights
- Powder-coated steel for corrosion resistance
- 250 lb weight limit
- Slotted side panels for lots of tie-down points
- Flips up and locks out of the way for hood access
- Two quick-release pins
- Uses OEM mounting points
- Dimensions (L x W x H): 55-3/16" x 20-1/4" x 3-1/4"
- Increases storage area by 50%
Made for Hunters and Landowners
Keep rifles, packs and essentials on the hood for quick access when you stop, and keep the bed clean and open for game, feed or equipment. On the farm it's a handy spot for fencing tools, chainsaws and supplies.
Still Get Under the Hood
Pull the two quick-release pins and the rack flips up and locks, so checking fluids or wiring doesn't mean unloading and unbolting anything.
Strong Mounting
The rack bolts to OEM mounting points with heavy-duty hardware, so it stays tight over rough ground and doesn't rattle loose.
Loading Tips
- Put heavy items low and toward the back of the rack, close to the windshield, to keep steering light
- Use the slotted sides with ratchet straps or cam straps, crossing straps over tall loads
- Stay within the 250 lb limit, and remember the load adds to the front suspension
- Rifle cases ride best in soft cases strapped flat across the slots
- Re-check straps after the first few minutes of rough ground
Why a Hood Rack Instead of More Bed Space?
The bed is where the messy and heavy stuff belongs: firewood, feed, game, tools. A hood rack separates the gear you need often, like packs, rain jackets, a cooler bag or a chainsaw, so you can reach it from the seat without climbing into the back. It also keeps that gear away from blood, mud and fuel in the bed. Check the mounting bolts after the first ride and at each service.
