Tamarack “Boom It” Dry Storage ATV Box for ATVs
“Born to be Wild!”
“Get your motor runnin’; head out on the
trails; lookin’ for adventure; and whatever
comes our way … ” Wait! I don’t
think Steppenwolf’s 1968 classic, “Born to be
Wild”, mentions the word trails in the lyrics.
Frankly, it doesn’t matter, because once riders
strap Tamarack’s “Boom It” Dry Storage ATV Box
onto their ATV, the adventures will be found on
the trails. Not, out on the highway!
The Tamarack “Boom It” Dry Storage Box features
a high-end
JBL Marine stereo and two 5”, 75-watt
waterproof speakers. It is Sirius ready,
MP3 player compatible, and offers radio pre-set
capability. While it is not uncommon to
see riders with home-made stereo systems on
their ATVs, Tamarack’s “Boom It” doubles as dry
storage box – maximizing the available storage
area on the ATV.
Similar in base frame size as Tamarack’s
Wrap-Around Quad Trunk, the “Boom It” is made
from an ultra-durable polyethylene which is
designed to withstand extreme temperatures and
will not crack, warp, or dent. Keeping the
internal contents of the storage box clean and
dry, “Boom It” is watertight and features a new,
contoured, angled lid to shed off water.
Boasting universal mounting capability, the
“Boom It” will attach to most tubular and
composite ATV racks. All mounting hardware
is provided for a quick and easy installation.
Riders will also take comfort on the
back/armrest, while sitting and jamming to some
tunes at the camp or on the trails, knowing that
there is a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty on the
JBL stereo. Plus, the “Boom It” is
available in Black, Red, and Dark Green –
providing optional colors for a rider’s specific
requirements.
Tamarack, building on their reputation of
providing quality ATV accessories, has delivered
another hit! The “Boom It” has been
designed to withstand the typical elements found
out on the trail. The weather-resistant,
JBL Marine stereo delivers clear sounds with a
volume range that can be easily heard over the
sound of the engine and through the muffle of
the helmet.
Though providing ample volume, Tamarack does
advocate being considerate to other riders while
riding on public lands. In view of the
efforts that are being made throughout the
industry to maintain available and gain
additional land privileges for motorsport
enthusiasts, we recommend that riders use the
Tamarack “Boom It” responsibly – maintaining the
efforts of providing a positive image of the
sport. Also, deer or other wildlife may give a
glance, similar to Simon Cowell’s on American
Idol, while you sing along with your favorite
tune. Be advised, this is different than
the “deer in headlights” look!
The “Boom It” can be affixed to the front or
rear of an ATV rack. Whereas the stereo controls
are much more accessible in the front, the rear
rack positioning offers better forward
visibility–since the box sits rather tall–and
the comfort of the back/armrests while taking a
break. The “Boom It” is not designed for use as
a back/armrest for a second rider or while a
machine is in operation. The obvious
limitations to the rear positioning orientation
are the limited access to the controls and the
added weight of the box and its contents which
may contribute to lightening of the ATV’s
front-end.
Serving as an acceptable compromise, we chose to
keep the “Boom It” in the, likely more popular,
rear rack placement orientation. Whether
positioned on the front or rear rack, the height
of the box would have equally limited access to
some tight spots when trying to creep under
low-lying trees or other obstacles. As for
working the controls, we found that loading our
favorite MP3 playlist was sufficient for
providing the appropriate tunes we needed until
our next stop.
Overall, the Tamarack “Boom It” Dry Storage Box
is a high-quality ATV compartment that provides
stereo tunes for your ATV while preserving and
adding storage space to your ATV racks. So, if
you love getting psyched up with some jams while
climbing a sand dune or hill, blasting through a
mud bog, racing one of your buddies, or just
leisurely driving down the trails with some
classical music–the Tamarack “Boom It” is the
boom box for you! Just do the rest of us
on the trail a favor and keep the bad sing-alongs
down to a minimum!
