Summer Mod Projects

[PEAK SEEKER]

Well next season will be a rockin for me.
I bought a Fabcraft 174" tunnel powdercoated orange and a Timbersled skid.
I ,today talked to Shain @ Twisted Turbo's and am going too send my deposit on a M1000 race gas extreme turbver 400hp turned up...
By the time I have this sled all finished,sometime in August I am going to be chomping at the bit too get out and ride.
Its only 18 days today and then the days start getting shorter,I can hardly wait for winter.
I hope everyone has a great summer and look forward too riding with more people this next season.:d

Cheers,
Dave

Stock drops went bye-bye today....put on the Timbersled drops for strength. (I have some stockers and a set of Smitty drops for sale FYI)

the timbersled brackets are really beefy hey?

Yup...they're not going anywhere. They overlap the VE extension by about 1" as well, so a couple of long steel rivets went through there as well....the rear of this sled is going to be very tough.

Max, those tracks come in yet?

 

[maxwell]

tracks have arrived. in calgary. so i havent seen them. but its good news for us.

here is the 2009 all done minus track and skid. we are looking for a 2010 xp seat for this machine if anyone is interested in trading for the 2009 version which is larger and more comfortable for trail riding.

lol no....no spray cans here...

its powdercoating.

they just wrinkle it. i find it more durable and doesnt show scratches like powdercoating.

about 350$ to do a frame has to be completely striped of EVERYTHING as it goes in a 300 degree oven and the mroe stripped down the better the job
