In them hills.
Just ordered this bumper from Chrisco. No taco kitty for me!!
Gah that might be to strong.
I'd be worried about bending the main tunnel now.

Tail section is only $350 bucks.
I want that to buckle first....

I like a strong bumper. Never know when you need to tow a buddy out. The front part of the tunnel is very strong with the tank and the running boards keeping it straight.

That is the interesting part of that kinked tunnel picture. The upper board attachments are also bent.

Where the 3 guys standing on the track when they where supposably lifting it?

Strange......

they were lifting from the bumper. said they heard a weird noise as they were lifting and felt it at the same time. The dealer is not going to do warranty on it so he ordered the new rear tunnel and will order a bracing kit too. I still think its a joke as sleds get stuck and you lift from the back end

Dealer isn't doing warranty? Whats the reason for that.It was stated above the company backed owners with a solid warranty.

I know it's tough to understand.
But think of it as a bulkhead.

And to be fair he is only one of the 1% percent that is having issues.

Less aggressive bumper tuggers aren't experiencing these problems.

That tunnel did not bend from lifting, that's complete BS and nonsense. Its more like operator stupidity.
The Alpha tunnel is the same tunnel Cat has been using for the last 5 years.
I love the made up stories that come up on these sites in an attempt to stir up crap...LOL
