Now that's funny....your son looks exactly the same way I did when I removed the Blue Loctited lower A-Arm bolts. Skinz called for Red Loctite and I am really glad I didn't use it. I had to put in a 1/2" torque wrench that was 18" long from the side to break the nuts free. Ended up ruining the nuts and bolts....unbelievable.

Good news is the arms will be upgraded to 5/8" hiems and that should ensure durablity for the long haul.

OTM

Oil Reserve for the MPI Supercharger.

hey looks identical to my sled right now! im waiting on my skinz front end to get shipped out right now!

christopher · Jun 16, 2012

And I am waiting for mine to return.

Thinking about putting the Airframe nose on as well. That would probably get me some more cool air to a hot inter cooler.

Your going to need to get one of these...

Snap-On CT7850!!

Or the IR... A bit more "heavy hitting" than the Snappy.

m8magicandmystery · Jun 16, 2012

i use the corded impact...i just found that the impact had no drawback being corded since the job area on a sled is not like a construction site up and down a few floors...and the corded models are wayyyy less money with great performance

christopher · Jun 19, 2012

Now why would I want to go and buy that when I just invested all that money last summer in brand new air tools???

bholmlate · Jun 19, 2012

because its all shiny and new. do i need to say more? :face-icon-small-hap

mountainhorse · Jun 20, 2012

Got all the airtools you could shake a stick at... still love my snappy rattle guns.. they get used the most!

Not only is number 8 the cheapest, it will maximize your sledding enjoyment the most. Should be number 1:face-icon-small-win

Just had a little chat with Skinz Protective Gear.

Looks like I need to add another couple items to my summer list. The first of which will be one of their Airframe Hoods with the subframe powder coated blue!

Might add a new beefier tunnel rack and a larger tunnel bag as well.

And there might be some custom fab as well, but more on that later...
