how much actual chassis was changed? IDK the RXC looks good though, I dig it.  edit: 137" ?  hmmmm...

Does he too back up to a big ole shagbark hickory and wrap the back bumper to a tree with baler twine and forward-March the truck all she go?

 

yeah I never seen it done that way before either....

No it’s better. I put the sled in reverse and floor it. No snow bank required 

I ordered Rox gauntlets that wrap over their handguards after the 2° ride home last night. I think that makes me officially old

Has worked great for me the last 25 years. My loading ramp is sketchy though. Trucks are a lot taller now than when I bought that ramp. My 1/2 ton sits higher than the 3/4 ton I originally bought the ramp to load it in back in the day. I need to get a longer one some time.

what’s the difference of throwing it out of the back of a truck or jumping it 4 feet in the air? There isn’t. The suspension does the same thing.

Put another 80 miles on this hog after work today for happy hour. I started to tweak the shocks and they are really starting to shine

That’s not good because I have a curved brake lever too

My brake lever, not yours.  My beer drinking buddy made mine a long time ago.

That ZR8000 is impressive. In the video, it hauls the friggin' mail.

I have a sawzall that fixes a lot of snowmobile problems. You can call me a fabricator now. I just need a harbor freight stick welder to complete the package. And trust me I won’t know how to use it but fafo fabrication is open for business.

the video is a bit hokey as the F7 and Zuke 800 are both modded and the Lysts are stockers.  would be more interesting to see stock ones (but a CTech 8000) line up on snow.

just slice a hole in the gauntlet for the lever...

At the end of the video the vbox times suggest the 858 bests that highly modified ZR8000 in everything but top speed.

For how modded the 800 is, I don't think it's very impressive to run right with a stock 858?  I'd think it should have big power with ported cylinders and pipes?

Suzukis are turds and always were, the ones with cat clutches were just fast on the top end. People that still hype zuke 800s are the same guys that “hopped coke cans on the street” with their 14.50 quarter mile chevelles

Probably, I haven't been a huge fan of the Suzuki 800.  They've been reliable at least.

I am wondering if should update the stickers on mine from first edition to last edition?
