There is alot of talk about the downfalls of each sled. I would like to hear some positives! Post which parts or performance of your sled that you like the best. Please no posts of "my sled isn't brand X". I have a 2010 m8 and the storage under the seat is incredible and is something that seems so small, but really makes riding nice not having all the weight of the contents on your back. Lets hear your favorites!!!

Hands down, the best add on to my current sled is the tube style boards.

It's fun to watch your buddies kicking at their boards all day trying to clear a small area for traction when mine are nearly snow free.

I have a 12 pro that I put 13/14 powder coated boards on, and it was well worth the time and effort. Also added a SLP stage 3 with RKTech pistons and it really woke this sled up....very happy with these upgrades.:face-icon-small-coo

X2 on the Airframes or tube style boards, they don't flex, collect very little snow, you can't ride if you can't keep your feet on the boards. Really like the E start as well, but that's just me, cause I'm almost a hundred! :face-icon-small-sho

Biggest upgrade as far as convenience is skinz boards, no flex and no snow buildup whatsoever. Fun factor is definitely boondocker turbo

I forgot about my three inch. That is probably the single biggest gain on my sled and will be the first thing I do to the new one

WRP running boards, love the traction and snow cleanout, best mod you can do to be a better rider really, traction and stiff boards are huge in tight situations

There’s no boost for performance like a turbo boost and Boondocker PGT – Pump Gas Turbo — gives you bolt on steroid-induced muscle that gives your stocker mountain sled permission to be an alien. Slap it on to your EFI motor, dump premium fuel in the tank and give that steep ascent a pummeling. Added weight is minimal. Power-to-weight is vicious good.

Turbo hands down the best mod, and Believe me, its barely even heavier. And the amount that it is heavier you sure dont notice with the skis in the air!

Best mods on my XM are the grille covers, muffpot, SLP can, and adjustable risers. If I had to pick just one it would be the risers.
