Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted July 31, 2017 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted July 31, 2017 Don't want to get into a pissing match but there is a reason Grip n RIP has made a mint selling brace kits. On a side note have a guy coming to look at the M8 next weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, WGAF. They can whine among themselves as the season gets closer, then, maybe all share the one or two sleds I think they might own between them. But seriously.

You should have seen my busted up shit I fought back 40 miles to my garage at no faster than 15-20 miles an hour. We stopped periodically to grab deadfall to keep rebending the A arm into some simile of workable structure. Miserable ride. BUT I RODE IT BACK!!!!!!!.

Zambroski Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 All that shit and end over end. Ended up with a bent steering shaft, bars, fucked Ski and bent lower A-arm. I had my buddy come over to check it out too...I thought my eyes were failing me. NO WAY I didn't tork the frame. But nope! He just laughed and said, "Welcome to Cat." (ex Cat snoXer). My body ended up worse than anything. I've never "exited" a vehicle so fast in my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ez ryder Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 own a doo I know exactly what that tinfoil pile of shit would have looked like and it sure shit would not have been driven out prob not even towed . that one would have cost me a 1200 buck chopper ride. I ride with 5 pro rmk I know exactly what they can take every one there said same thing that hit would have sure shit folded back the tunnel and snapped both arms. cats suck at a lot of stuff but taking a big hit is not 1 of them. they have a sold chassis and a solid motor great deep snow track . everything thing else is a compromise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My body ended up worse than anything. I've never "exited" a vehicle so fast in my life. in 13 yrs a bud got a brand new limited m8. thing had like 2 hours on it . he lost it way up on the side of a mountain and the thing goes ghost ridding down prob 3000 feet takes out the only tree in 1/8 of a mile, all you could see was the tree sort of shake and loose some snow . it did bust off the upper a arm tab in bulk head and sheered of both arms and crushed shock crushed air box and nose . but no chassis damage . we had her going in 2 nights and a trip to the rental shop for parts . western rental shops always have all the parts you need way more than dealers . I was sure we were going to get down there and find a ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
