My new Sled build

Jkinzer · Jun 3, 2010

Well the new bulk head/tunnel showed up today so the build begins. stripped most of the damaged crap off the old chassis, will pull the motor this weekend and install a fresh top end. then time for the FTX drop n roll! and Better boards and better bars, then time for powder coat, and re-assembly with the timbersled front and rear suspensions and new ice age rails, going to top it off with a new FTX carbon fiber iqr/raw hybrid hood wrapped in one of Jordan's new designs for 2011, and lots and lots of XXX MOD ROD VENTS. will post progress pics over the next couple months.

JK..

whats your plans with the tunnel...powder coat, wrap....color...or just make it look like it was with new hood wrap....

ill be staying tuned

Jkinzer · Jun 4, 2010

pretty much every piece of metal will be powdercoated black with red accents through out, as of now only planning on wrapping the hood and not the tunnel again... still not sure on graphics though... but will have lots of pics when it starts to come together

Now that it's June, the rebuilding is beginning in earnest.

Jkinzer · Jun 11, 2010

got busy last week and didnt get much done.. but pulled the motor and pretty well stripped my old chassis tonight. just have to finish removing the motor mounts and i will be done with the tear down. as long as nothing comes up hoping to get the drop n roll installed this weekend and get my tunnel dump exhaust hole cut so i can get the tunnel off for powder coating. here's a couple more pics Last pic is the mag side motor strap broken in half again in the same spot... (thats my third one!)

Jeremy,

Your just hard on things aren't you? lol

Jkinzer · Jun 15, 2010

maybe just a little

Jkinzer · Aug 5, 2010

okay... its been awhile but the build is starting to take shape. Got the better boards installed last week and all the parts and pieces are being powdercoated now and should be done by the first part of next week! Put a fresh top end in today and cleaned up the motor. here a few more pics

used a plasma cutter and a 3" cut off wheel, made for quick work of the running boards

Was suprised to see how good the pistons looked. right around 1700-1800 miles on this top end at 10-12lbs of boost with half of a day at 19lbs of boost

this proves that the polaris dual ring pistons have no problem holding up to boost, there were many doubters at the beginning of last season

How is the run out on the crank? Or have you got that far yet.

Jkinzer · Aug 5, 2010

.001 on the pto side and .003 on the mag, hasnt changed since dan put it all together. didng get near enough use out of it this last winter but its in great shape and ready for another season

How's your FTX drop and roll coming? Got any pics of that? Curious how it compares to the Holz one I did.

Jkinzer · Aug 8, 2010

i had step by step pics of the install, but my sd card took a dump, so all i'm going to have is some pics of the templates, and the new holes before i put it all back together. hoping to have everything back from powdercoating this week, should have more updates soon

Jkinzer · Aug 9, 2010

picked up most of the parts from powdercoat this afternoon and got started on the re-assembly. here's a few pics

Tunnel

cut outs for drop and roll, still have to trim one more piece off the bottom tomarrow

RED BETTER BARS

rear bumper and Fire N Ice stirrup vents installed

PTO drop n roll bracket installed

pto side plastics installed

have a little more trimming to do on the mag side for the D&R and then i can get the drive shaft and jack shaft back in place and get ready for the motor!

smokindave · Aug 9, 2010

Thats looking real good,I realy like your choice of colours...:face-icon-small-hap

600xc4me · Aug 9, 2010

Very very nice.

Loving the black and red on the tunnel.

oldboosteddragon · Aug 10, 2010

when you were running 19 lbs was that on a stock polaris head. or a lower compression head. by the way the sled looks sick

Jkinzer · Aug 10, 2010

2010 head w/ some minor work and straight c16 fuel, and it actually cracked the pto dome a little bit, but it was INSANE!
