My IQR build (New Pics 11-01-09)

Here are some pictures of the new ride for this season. My hubby and I are building together, not only am I learning how to put a sled together, but I am starting to understand light-weight parts and loving how my new sled is going to work.

I just got my Ladies ride calendar today and noticed that there wasn't any IQR's sleds so maybe next year??!!??!!

Sled info:

VE boondock tunnel in wrinkle black
Carls' 685
Z-bro's complete front end with exit shocks
EZ Ryde suspension with Z-bros shocks
150x2.5 camo extreme track

Here are some pictures of the build so far:

Transfer drilling holes into the blank bulkhead using the spare stock tunnel

Cleaning up some bolt holes

Looks great--can't wait to see it when it's finished!!

Sounds like that will be one sweet sled!!!!!!

iqsledchick · Oct 29, 2009

Yeah, I am looking forward to it. I will post more pictures as we get her put together. We are hoping to start her this weekend, then we will be driving over to MI to get the EZ RYDE installed.

Now I just need a name for her....She is going to have a black hood with red metal flake in it to look sortof like a bass boat!!
I was thinking Black Betty, but not sure yet....if you have any ideas, I would love to hear them!!!

iqsledchick · Nov 1, 2009

She is getting very close...can't wait to jump on and ride! Still looking for ideas for names if any of you have ideas.

Waiting on new brake line as the stock one is too short with my new riser, also waiting for the right side panel as the hubby ordered the wrong one...oh well extra parts for his IQR

Should be running this week!!

Went over last weekend to EZ ryde, got the skid installed. Hubby made the trip while I was on a much needed girls weekend. The right side panel was not installed due to UPS, they stole my sidepanel at the Polaris distribution facility. It was suppossed to come via Speedy delivery, but the UPS guy put it in his truck and didn't find it until Omhaha NE!!!!! Then they just dropped it back off to Speedy to be delivered.

Chriatian from EZ ryde doing his measuring thing.

Installing shocks

Finished product

As of now, the hood is off at paint, just need to get it back and do some final assembly and she will be ready to go.

WOW! looks great!!

rmk_racer · Nov 17, 2009

Looks sweet! Bet you can't wait to ride it! How did the 685 motor work out for you? Did you ride it last spring?

I've got an 08 iqr sitting in my trailer, no pics yet, have to work on that! Took it for a brief test ride last spring before buying it and picked it up last summer. Can't wait to hop on and squeeze the trigger!

CoyoteGirl · Nov 17, 2009

She looks great! I bet you have an extremely twitchy throttle thumb!

Name... it'll come to you... give it time! :beer;

Update, hood is back from paint, just finished up installing all kinds of vents into it.

Color came out as a dark cherry/black with lots of red metallic in it, looks really cool when the sun hits it.

Vents:

Hood semi installed, Ean set the headlight in there so we could take our Christmas Pictures with the sleds.

More finished pictures to come. just finishing up the rest of the vent installs and sealing the headlight/intake area, then she is ready for snow! Good thing too, it started snowing in MN! Finally!

Our trip to Cooke City was a blast! I love the new sled. She did tell me her name when we were out there. RUBY is the newest member of our sleds and she is awesome. My husband rode her for about 5 miles the first day to make sure everything was working okay and after that, I would not get off of it! The weight difference in the new chassis and the jump from a 600 to a 685 is amazing. I don't think I will ever ride another sled. I love my EZ Ryde and my exit shocks are amazing. Anyone looking at these from Zbros and wondering if they are really worth the money, all I can say is YES YES YES!! While I was riding down a nasty trail at the end of the day, my friends with stock skids were in front of me and she was getting bucked around, I felt like I was sitting on my lazy boy! IT was GREAT!!

Sure is nice to fall in love, too bad she won't let me ride the sled.

It should say: Hellooooo Ruuuby, good bye my chance to ride it, I will need to equip myself with dynamite and a crowbar to get her off that thing. Which is good and the whole reason we built it.
