Jerr2Star Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Absolute worst part is my wife was right there saying keep looking for other sleds when she seen the cracked hood but i didn't listen so since February ive gotten the "I told you soo" comment everytime she see's it lol. The upside is in Idaho you only have to pay 35 for your sticker and now they dont associate a vin or require proof of ownership to them just pay and ride (once i get a clutch) but id still take my 2001 Mountain Cat LE that i had for 11 years and modified quite a bit this past season before selling it, i knew its quirks and for a long track trail sled i could keep up and the old zuke 800 never failed. Ill take the time a turn the 2013 turd into a good sled like i have done to others and pass inspection to get the rebuilt title so that when i do decide to sell it in the future the next owner will have the full story up-front and know what they are getting into. Luckily i love wrenching on things or this would've ended up as a part-out sled. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come into a icy corner at 60 mph and you better have studs or will be in the trees. And even if you make the corner, by the time your track finally hooks up and you start to accelerate Ill be long gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few of my buds run em, so does my Dad on his Doo. They work good for sure. I still prefer studs personally but East Coast has lots of ice with our constant warm ups and temp drops...maybe not so bad out your way.

You’re better off not having studs than one of those fuckin gimmicks.

I'd probably put another one on. are you riding on a hockey rink, as I've not had one problem and ride 90% tight woods at a brisk pace.

Bontz Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Pulled the skid and shocks yesterday, and the got the front shocks out and packed them up & shipped them out this morning. Swapped out the stock riser for the taller (Assault) riser, and got the new Rox guards installed. I lost motivation to get the snow flap off & install the tunnel protectors but that might be a "tomorrow" project. Then again, I may take the RZR out tomorrow if it's gonna be upper 50's ... we'll see. Once I get the shocks back, the only real to-do will be to get everything put back together and then get the track studded out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have one sled that has a hooker track on. All the bars are still good but pulled the studs out and studded it with push through studs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
