cat08m8 · Oct 7, 2008

Yeah thats how I ended up with a new hood anyway trashed the last one.....

cat08m8 · Oct 14, 2008

Here is a few more pics went with a lot of fast lane stuff they are semi local to me I went with the fast lane 9" big wheel kit and seat also the new no snows for the running boards I chose not to use the screws instead I hucked them on and am using the collar for grip seems like it should work great,,,,,the side vents I cut the whole screen out still very ridged I am going with their seat…. like the way it "sat" at hay days and got a sweet price on it,,,,fabcraft bars with hand guards,,,,simmions skis then I had VE do a 162" extension and tip it up a bit more then 2 pretty it up I powder coated all suspension front and rear flat black had all the bolts rezinked black rather than having the gold bolts with the black suspension....

looks really good.....were did you get the head light covers?

joebear76 · Oct 14, 2008

Man that sled looks great!!! I was wondering if you could give me some info on who to talk to about that tunnel bumper. I have a 06 m series and would like to put one on just like that.

Knizer8hun · Oct 14, 2008

Those are "sexy" bogey wheels.... I need some help finding something similiar to those, but orange or have some orange on them?

Anyone?!?

cat08m8 · Oct 15, 2008

on the bumper I just called VE www.vanamburgenterprises.com (509) 225-6681 its their new m series bumper it has the extension then the bumper is one piece that goes from the rear all the way forward to where the two rivet together this thing is strong and like I said I had him tip it up a little more just for a better taper should function nice,,,,,,,,the head light covers I made my self pain in the butt but should let a lot of hot air out,,,,, the 9" wheels look bad azz I got these from fastlane www.flaneinc.com Troy Friedrich 218-689-7513 nice guy very knowledgeable I would get this whole kit east install and good construction then just take them and get them coated orange you could tape off certain parts like how I did on my rails........

Looks good. Are you doing anything with the back edge of the running boards like the 09s or BDXtreme kit?

Nice polishing job!

actually yeah i have some the new 09s on order just back order last year when it was a 153 i cut the boards off like you see and welded the out side grip back to its self and angled up to the tunnel but relized it looked rather tacky and the new ones are pretty nice...

Evil Revo · Oct 18, 2008

Looks awesome! Black is best!
But one thing I can't see. You don't use the Superclamp to tie down your sled!! Nothing beats the Superclamp. And now they have the Superglides for your trailer deck. I thought they were overrated until I bought some. Front and Rear. They are a must!

www.Superclamp.net
Lifetime warranty too! Tell me another product that has that!

Unbeatable service.

thump426er · Oct 19, 2008

Very sweet looking sled, nice job. That would look even meaner with a shorty windscreen....

High Country · Oct 19, 2008

Knizer8hun · Oct 19, 2008
