I’m more then willing to donate labor, if it works with work schedule. PM me.

My 2 cents regarding the initial question: Neither are doing a great job during the pandemic. These are uncharted waters, and frankly, common sense should prevail amongst the masses without a government mandate. If you’re hungry, eat, if you’re tired, sleep. If you want to avoid catching and...

Not sure if they make them in the size you need, but I run Firestone Destination M/T’s. They are tough as hell, minimal wear, and great off road traction (studs can be installed in them for winter use). This is on a 2016 Ram 3500 SRW that tows/ hauls on a regular basis on some less then stellar...

All of the manufacturers have provided new tech over the years, be it slide rail suspension, independent front suspension, electronic fuel injection, etc, etc, which has created better machines from all as a result - not a BRP specific thing. Marketing (or the lack of it) can also help make or...

Mine is 50K, unsecured through Scotia. Interest is 3.49%.

Long box crew cab should be 135L, my last 4 had 135L tanks

No idea what used interest rates are, but a line of credit might be your best best. 1/2 - 1% over prime depending on your bank, and way easier to pay out early...

Decent quality trailers are hard to come by, even the newer higher priced stuff. I’ve a 2004 Gulfstream I purchased new, and after modifying it for my needs, it has been a great trailer, but I did put new heavier axles in it. If I were in the market, I’d be looking for a used Travelaire...

I’m personally not a fan of anything over 156” on a N/A sled, to me the longer rides feel too planted and not as much fun. But boosted, I’d rather be on a 162” sled. This is a matter of personal preference, I’m not a logger and don’t ride tight trees cause I’m not interested in fixing a-arms and...

I’ve owned 2 and 4 place open deck trailers, 5 decks, and two enclosed trailers (28’ heated and 19’ not heated), I prefer a deck, as the weight is on the truck, easier parking and access. That said, i don’t ride in larger groups these days, and often I ride areas that are difficult to stage...

The list: -1974 Arctic Cat Panther - 1975 Rupp 440WT - 1977 Everest - 1979 Blizzard 7500 (1st mountain trip in 1981, OMG what a trip) - 197? Harley Davidson 400 F/A - 1984 Yamaha Enticer ( not 100% on the year) - 1995 Polaris XLT -1997 Formula (1st brand new sled, has a 121 x 1.5” track) -1998...

Thanks for the replies. I was hoping for an actual weight, as once everything is added to a sled the numbers change a lot. Case in point: My wife’s current ride (ProRMK with a 153” x 2.6” PC track, Avid drivers, Kmod front and rear suspension, Carl’s big bore, 3 belt drive, can, skidplate, etc...

I’m not concerned about weight for myself, I ride a boosted King Cat (Sidewinder), and at 51 yrs old, I’m 6’2”, 213 lbs and have an active work life. My significant other is 5’2”, and needs a lighter machine - she’s on an RMK with a bunch of stuff done to it, if the new T850 is close in weight...

So I’ve been reading all about this game changer, have not found a post about ready to ride weight (full of fuel, oil, toolkit and skid plate). Not interested in “a little bit heavier, but you don’t feel the weight” comments. This is a sled I’m contemplating for my significant other... So if...

I think it boils down to personal preference and age demographic. I ride differently then I did 15-20 yrs ago, and don’t get out nearly as much as I’d like. My disposable income isn’t what it used to be either. So I’m not a tight tree rider, cause I simply don’t have the reflexes I used to to...

The Riot spindles when installed cause the tie rod tubes to contact the lower a-arm when suspension is at full drop out (skis in the air). Total cost for everything was under $475 Cdn. For those asking about installing with a stock skid, you woulld likely need to relocate the rear skid, perhaps...

That was sarcasm. My point is that every manufacturer has issues. Some faults are overlooked as teething problems or accepted depending what color your goggle lenses are. Only difference between today and 20 years ago is that the machines are strung tight as a banjo to get every last ounce of...

Let’s sift through the BS. Yes, there are team clutch failures. Yes, there was Doo clutch failures. Yes, there were a couple Polaris 800 engine failures. My point is this: they all have their problems, no matter the brand. Anything that is built by people( and usually the lowest bidder) is going...

Give Rocky at Redline Fab a call. He’s in Nisku 780-955-9552. Does great work at a reasonable price

Usually I’m in groups of two. Rule of thumb we use is to keep the other in line of sight, and use the radios to stay in touch with other groups. I don’t ride with the lone explorers, as usually spend more time looking for / worrying about them then enjoying the day...sticking together is the...
