Looks good. Did you reinforce between the bumper and the running boards? I see some extra rivets. A bud of mine didn't when he stretched his and moved the bumper back and I had the dubious honor of buckling his tunnel. A longer bumper helps also. Just an idea so you don't end up doing what I did.

How do you like the 3"? Big traction gains over a 146 w/ lug and length. Must of been quite an ajdustment to riding style.

Yes reinforced tunnel saw that it was pretty week without bumper...It is an awesome upgrade I love it......It makes you have a lot of confidence, helped me do a lot of things with ease I would not have tried on the 146!!

what track did you end up using, and best place you found to buy it? Drivers? Thinking about a 3in on my 09. Looks good, great job.

look's good ! looking to do the same with my 2012 154. what track model you got on ? is it the same pitch ? 2,86 or 3 in. ? 3'' lug fit great in the tunnel ?

Upgrade??? It looks like someone stole your sweet 146 & replaced it with some goofy long track

You're gonna love the grip of that 3" I bet! Wish I could get one without going to a 163.

It's actually a camoplast X3 162"x16"x3" you can get it from tracks usa I replaced my skid with a 163" skid and changed the drivers from the stock 8 tooth 2.86 to whal brothers 7 tooth 3.0 drivers it fits in the tunnel pretty tight but works great rode sat. for first time since mods. and it was great and no problems...And FYI the 156"x16"x3" track will fit with the stock 154" skid but you still obviously must change the drivers(A friend of mine did this mod)

I'm actually considering going to a 153 x 15 x 3 next year on mine... the new cat track is pretty nice.

I've got a 163 cooler if you ever find you need the additional cooling...pm new if you're interested, I doubt I'll be back here to see any response
