i dont imagine its a fun job,
If your interested in protecting yourself from this kind of damage again i would highly suggest checking out a RPM Composites Skid Plate. Or even at the very least a plastic skidplate would have maybe saved you. but i have seen them tear open as well.
here is a...
Bent both my rails and rear idler wheels on my XM over holidays.
Borrowed a buddys 7 inch Polaris wheels and ran for another day with no problems even with bent rails but they are too small and max out my track adjustment.
I got Ice Age rails on order but are 2 weeks from getting machined. In...
My brother and another rider i know have the bag and they cut a hole right through the bag then plastic and then clutch cover and just have the mesh. My brothers hole is only about 2x2 inches and it gets smoking hot in there. He can even put gloves inside it and it will warm them up a bit. wont...
i think most of these guys are getting lifted from remoter areas. i paid $600 a couple years ago in Mcbride for a lift when my 08 XP threw a rod. only way out was a 6000ft climb out of Blackwater/Hamburger Hills area) that weekend sure sucked because a new short block was $3200 as well. Yeyy to...
My guess is the Jerry Cans that he would have spent all the money to get a blow mold made for.
The rails have no markings on them whatsoever but i would guess are included somehow possibly.
either way its still just pending.
Well I ended up making the plate larger, for the main reason of i did not want the case sliding back and forth but also because now larger things can be mounted to the plate and it has an overall better area of grab since the grooves are longer.
Also got testing on 2 units this weekend in some...
Well me and my brother have been working on a system for a Pelican case or any other case for that matter that works with the Mountain Addiction Rails we all love.
I have a couple different prototypes made up I will be testing this weekend on the mountain a short and along version.
These are...
Buy an Rpm and you won't go back. An axe won't go through that plate so a stump and rock isn't going through it either. Plus if your smart you will add grip n rips which that plate is molded for and even stronger then. But all of that aside even your plastic plates save your coolers somewhat...
You are complaining about some surface rust on a drive shaft? its not like its rotting through, nor will it ever. it will be gone after the first ride and more show up on other parts after it sits in your garage after the first ride. If you spent more time doing your research instead of looking...
Maybe 5 that you heard of. We know of a 3 or 4 guys just local that ride and broke them.
This is an easy mod to get done with no snow on the ground and saves my ass if it fails. I'm not to worried about replacing the arm but riding out on a broken arm is near impossible and ends a day pretty...
I also bought the Sno Skinz cover. Ron was fantastic to deal with and the cover arrived quickly. i love how it comes with and undercover and a few strap options plus the reinforcement in the areas that need it like handlebars and running board sides.
there is a video floating around that shows...
Re: And the best part....
skid plate looks good,glad you went with it! As i sated before also glad my brother convinced me to get one, i think between me and him plus some buddies he ordered 7 of them from Raffi. They should show up anyday now.
Thanks for the pics.
please for the love of god get the GNR bracing or end up like this guy
Found something not nice.. - REV-XP / XM Chassis - Mountain Sleds - DOOTalk Forums
its $140 and a small amount of your time to invest in a sled I am sure you just spent $14g or more on.
a skid plate is also equally as...
