XCR1250 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) Takes 10 -15 minutes to do, just strap the torque arms to the tunnel bolt hole distances and install bolts, all while on tipped on 1 side than the other.

I think it is deff more ez to put in with ass in the air . hard to line up holes on ground side when laying on the side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKIQPilot Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Pretty cool but nothing new at all. Ive been removing and reinstalling skids this way for over 25 years. Ive argued with a number of you on this forum and HCS about this technique for over a decade. In 2012 I posted a video of me removing a skid in 90 seconds without impact tools only a ratchet. Same video showed the complete install in under 3 minutes without impact tools. I can install a skid in under 2 minutes with impact tools and that is torqued, locktited and ready to ride. Cool for sure but everyone who knows the slightest thing about sleds has been doing it this way for 3 decades or longer. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would absolutely destroy you in skid removal and reinstallation. It wouldnt wven be close. There is no harder way to do it than the way you do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
