Stuff isnt as easy to improve apon as it once was.

Stocks sleds from 20 years ago suck balls compared to the stock stuff now.
I should hope so….

Prices are also 3x as much as 20yrs go…

Isn’t your current truck better than the ride you had 20 yrs ago as well. Yet… everyone wants an older unit to go out in and parade the town on wing night …?!

They have vintage rides if youre into that.

Think my 2000 highmark was 11 or msybe even 13g otd. And with 30,000 in mods it would still be crap compared to a new turbo doo.

You got screwed on your build if you think a new turbo is better. I can buy a ZX for 5k that would lay a licken on a new Doo turbo.

Hehehe - You can tell people haven't been riding for a long time when they don't know that all the "innovation" of today, is from a lot of us riding "mod" sleds all those years ago.

Gonna break a lot of hearts here but believe it or not............there were actually guys that rode before you.......and built sleds.......that were then copied by the OEMs......and then sold to you as "mountain sleds". All those spine adjustments at the chiropractor was part of "the lifestyle" back then! LOL Sleds handle and ride so much better now, no matter what LHF says, none of us would go back!

Big guns start at 1:15:15.

The biggest improvement on newer sleds is the way they handle. And fuel injection is awesome....

No one wants a sled that handles like a 1970s mod sled and jet all fkn day

Stock Turbo doo vs the 5000$ zx mod.

No tree riding. lets make it happen
No need, the competition is already over - this one says it can keep up to the new sleds and even the big boys. No money left for mods, gonna blow the whole budget just buying it! Maybe we need to prorate the funds for "COVID pricing"?

bahahaahahaha

No need to buy a sled. Knock the dust off that mountain magic special The Freak was Freak’n about not being able to sell for $4500.

Yo freak, Break that think out! Pretend that the bars are the 2 lady boy surprises you were holding last time you backed out of the deep powder challenge to go find your own DP in Thailand!

I built this sweet phazerdoo for my neighbor in Seymour so he had a sled to get around on this winter. My neighbor in Brooks dumped it in my field this summer in case I wanted to do anything with it. Took a real piece of crap and made it slightly a less piece of crap. Once I put the old doo seat on it it really popped. Still has half the plastic paddles left on it but they blow of every time you move it.
