Roof rack for plastic roof on Pioneer 1000-5

[Bairley]

Hey folks, just wondering if there's a roof rack option for a plastic roof on the Pioneer 1000-5. I'm looking to add a bit more space for carrying light gear, has anyone found a good solution?

OOOH, you're onto a smart upgrade. Best bet is to browse aftermarket aluminum roof racks made specifically for the Pioneer 1000‑5's plastic top. Another trick is adding a bolt-on crossbar kit from brands like SuperATV or ICP since those are really good, reputable brands as well that I tried over the years. You don't even need to drill holes.

If you just need extra space for light stuff like firewood or tools, a hitch basket can be super handy and easy to toss on. But if you're hitting rough trails or need to carry heavier gear, it might not hold up as well or be the safest option. Just depends on how rough your rides get.,

I'll check out SuperATV and ICP, I am glad to hear they don't require drilling. I'm mostly hauling light stuff, so a bolt-on setup sounds perfect

Yeahhh I hadn't thought about a hitch basket. I do mostly light hauling, but yeah, some trails can get pretty bumpy, I might still try both and see what works best long term.
