Got it.
When you said SHORTER I read NARROWER.
Was wondering how on earth you would narrow the OEM boards.
Thanks.

Turbo, are there any guides out there to doing it yourself?

2Huskies · Oct 29, 2013

So here we have the suspension out. It took some wiggling and had to jack up the back end pretty high but we got it. Hmm who knows, maybe ill replace that while im at it.

From there we just tucked the track under the front of the sled.

Onto the next step!

2Huskies · Oct 29, 2013

Step G

Remove the side pods on each side of the seat. Unfortunately I didnt get a picture of them. Only advice, when trying to get them off, be really careful, I about snapped mine. Just jimmy them forward and backward and they will pop off

Step H
Remove the Seat

The seat really is just held on by two bolts, and a quick tug up and toward the rear of the sled and off she came.

And voila no more seat!

Step I
Remove the gas tank plastic covering. Keep the three pieces together to be reused later.

There are two plastic pops at the bottom of each black piece, haha that took me a second to figure out.

Then two catch inserts at the top on the while piece, just gotta pull and they slip out.

Off comes the plastic and away with her old name!

Step J&K

Alright time to get rid of that pesky gas tank. A Word to wise.... Make sure your gas tank is empty before you try and disconnect it. I almost made the mistake of disconnecting it and loosing fuel everywhere! Thank goodness for a siphon.

Alright then with an empty tank, disconnect both lines to fuel tank its self. The clips are a wee bit tricky but nothing to bad.

Lastly undo the Line at the very top, its one you have to pinch open.

And the Green fuel sensor on the far right of the tank.

And you just take the tank off! No more fuel for this baby.

Then undo both bolts at the bottom of the gas tank

Step M

Now the Exhaust cone cover came off without a hitch. Just three bolts and it popped right off.

But getting the two mounting bolts off is a different story
For anyone who has ever snapped a ball nosed alen key off inside a bolt you know my pain.

Took some work but finally with a hammer and punch it came out. Hit each corner of it until it just loosened up and fell out.

Then a few moments later, (Once i used a craftsman key this time) they two bolts came right out.

Yea I have not been promoted. But I did get to steal tables, the impact wrench, and lights. Im making it work! He says he needs the room to work on his sled...

Not like he ever does anything to his sled right? haha

slash · Oct 29, 2013

do you kneed to use a lift ? too bad I sold yer dads track his skid is leanin on the wall a 163 would have been a nice up grade ,oh no impact on cheep ball allens they snap rt off

2Huskies · Oct 29, 2013

Not the full body lift, I don't see a need for it yet. Just a tail lift. Hmm that may yet happen....

TRUEBLUEMAX · Oct 29, 2013

Btw. Fuel will not leak out of your tank when you disconnect the lines. The fuel that is in the line will leak out but nothing out of the pump. Electric fuel pumps have a check valve in them so that the fuel lines always stay primed when the pump is not running.

Nice documentation. When I did mine I was so stoked there was no time for things like taking pictures. That thing was torn down to nothing quick.

When pulling the skid in the future before you jack it up compress down the rear if the sled as far as you can then use a ratchet strap to hold it closed and tighten it up the rest if the way. With the skid collapsed its much easier to slide out if the track and tunnel. Anything with a float shock is easy cause you just let the air out

Thanks true blue! Yea I honestly thought I was about to leak fuel everywhere. Good to know that wouldn't have happened. And ratcheting it down, I'm sure would have been easier. Haha I'm glad you guys know all the tricks

I would say. . . No impact on allens ever. . . LOL those buggers

Here is the Skinz Diagonal braces for shortening the running boards and narrowing the rear of the tunnel. If I was you I would get a cat rear bumper to add strength to the rear tunnel portion after narrowing it. The cat bumper is surprisingly strong for this purpose. If you need on I have a used one I will sell you and I can cut it to the length you need before sending it.

Well back at it! Here is step N

Removing the metal heat shield over the exhaust pipe. Now this is held down by two bolts that are actually under the shield. There are three plastic inserts to cover the holes that give you access. SO just pop those out and rachet away. I did have to get out an extender on my impact gun to reach them.

Once both sides are done. Then undo the middle bolt. Which is the exhaust clamp on the exhaust pipe. (Three in total) we are almost ready to pull off the exhaust.

2Huskies · Oct 31, 2013

From here we skipped to step Q. The two steps before it apply to 2008 nytros depending on where your rear light is.

Now for Q and R.

Just pull on the exhaust pipe and it literally just pops off.

Then once it is out, undo the 8 castle nuts around the heat shield. Undo the tail tight cable fasteners (I recommend needle nose pliers as i sliced my finger on one of them). Then just lift straight up and the heat shield comes right off.
