Picked up this old Mule about a year ago and slowly brought it back to life. It had the small plastic factory roof on it but was pretty small. I had built a similar roof for my first Mule so I had thought this one thru a little better. I welded tabs on front and rear of overhead cage and attached a piece of 48" x 58" 3/4 exterior form grade plywood that was painted with OD green porch paint. The perimeter frame is welded 1-1/4" angle iron 1/8" thick with pockets in each corner for blind use with 1/2" pipe rails painted semigloss black. I added a small 20w motorcycle FM/USB/SD head unit and pair of 5-1/4" waterproof boat speakers to finish it out. Yeah, the white tie wraps are killing me and will be changed to black when social distancing is over! ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2020/04/full-30584-225351-mule4x4rack1.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2020/04/full-30584-225352-mule4x4rack2.jpg)

Looks good! Them ol mules last forever when maintained properly.

Put some yotes or pig squeals through the sound system. Got it covered.
