I have FXR pants and jacket and i love them. They are really warm and extremally comfortable.
Both the jacket and the pants have removable liners which i usually take out for spring rides.
I bought mine from royal distributing and actually got a pretty good deal on them
My favorite is going to have to be Specialty Sleds. Some of the builds they do are just awsome.
I dont now if pure addiction is still open but there sleds are awsome too.
Mountain Magic is a good shop as well
Havent heard any complaints about them and i enjoy riding with them
Make sure you leave the safety pin in when ur not using it. Guy i go sleddin with was pullin his 1000 out of the trailer at renshaw and the lefty hit the side of the door and held it wide open.
Ive heard mixed reviews for the mudlites. Friend has them on his vinson and he has trouble getting any traction in the mud while in reverse.
Has anyone heard anything about the silverbacks.
Re: what vehical
Have a friend thats got a ranger it was really reliable and got good gas mileage when it was stock.
I Don't recommend putting 33s and a 6 inches of lift on it though killed the gas milage and he ripped out the rear axles.
I extended my rails from a 136 to a 151 with some Specialty Sleds pieces and like u said they feel solid
Specialty Sleds and SLP put out some good products so Im sure there wont be any issues
