Hey all I'm getting ready to buy a 2003 Mountian Max 141". I've done quite a bit of research on here because I've never owned a MM or even ridden one. I've always heard these old tripples are bulletproof so when I found a steal of a deal on a used 2003 MM I jumped on it.
So from what I've read it sounds like the skid and track on these sleds are major hunks of junk. I've read a few posts where guys have completely swapped out the skid for a skid from one of the other 3 manufacturers. This seems like the way to go because I want to put a longer track on and lose some weight from the stock setup. I understand the stock skids are heavy pigs.
Would it be easier to swap the skid as opposed to buying a track extension kit, transfer enhancement kit, and possibly an extended chaincase just to make the stock skid be functional? I have no experience swapping skids so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Is it possible to do this and how much work would it be? Does one brand's skid work better or will any of the three work?
Sorry for the long winded post. I just hope someone who has experience doing this will chime in. I need to decide if this is something I want to tackle. Thanks for the help guys!
