Ok here goes, I can’t afford to go buy a prowler. But I have access to some steel tubing and know a good welder. I was hoping somebody out there would have the measurements or specs for either a prowler or a sled.
Thanks!
There’s a thread on fortified iron with plans for a prowler. Should be on the first page of the powerlfiting sectino.
PM me if ya can’t find it.
I’m bumping this back to the top in hopes that I get some more replies.

This is just a drawing. the triangle pieces are 4 feet long, 2x2 steel. the foot plates are 12x8. and the bars for the “push” handles are 10" and 20" high.
Until this thread I thought that a prowler was usually a criminal.
So WTF is a prowler in this context?

Ouch! 500 dollars for that thing including shipping? You have to have some disposable cash just burning a hole in your pocket…

That one is much cheaper(shipping wise), wouldn’t know how it compares to original one(my gym has the econo prowler, I don’t blame them).
They look quite simple to construct; anybody with a bit of welding knowledge and access to the materials(home depot or lowes) would be able to construct one. Heck, I took welding in middle school and I think I could easily construct this.
Hi,
Bumping this thread coz I’d like to build a prowler as well. The fortified iron link doesn’t seem to work anymore…
I would also like the dimensions…someone help a brother out! Thanks

Dude, that’s badass. You mind giving me the specs? I’m opening my own personal training studio and I share warehouse space with a welder who happens to be my best buddy that already built me a power rack, so I’m trying to sucker him into this. Also, you in New Braunfels, Texas?

Where are you in Texas?
Whiteflash…scroll down this page a bit(training parameter for prowler) and you’ll find someone made a blueprint for one. I made one of my own and just guesstamated. One note though, if you will be transporting it in an SUV, make sure it’s narrow enough to fit. I made sure I measured my wifes Hyundi width before I started cutting up the steel for my own.
The pic of mine is in My New Baby thread at the end to maybe give you more ideas. I used round steel tube leftover from work stuff. Took about six hours, with beer breaks of course. If I made another one I could do it quiker. A pro could do it in less time.
WOW ! how often do you need to repave that shit !?? i hope you made it so the slids can be changed easily or i think youre gonne be sorry when they are worn down…

I have been using it a bunch and the street gets torn up but the skis are doing fine…they might wear down but it will take a while and I can easily weld on another piece. Replacement skis from Elite go for $65…i can probably get under that. and for the street after it rains the marks are gone bc I always drive by that spot. we’ll see.
