I know aftermarket skis used to be talked way more about. I was a big endorser of the simmons skis on the original rev chasis. Tried them on my XM and hated them.
That being said I'm just not a huge fan of the skis on my Gen 4 summit. They seem darty as all get out on the trails and I get it...
Maybe i am just a tall guy (im only 6'3" tall though) anyway I bought a bca turbo avy bag and taking more time to try it on and wear around the house the "hip" belt pretty much rides on my stomach quite a ways up.
I am guessing guys dont really tighten these belts very much right? Hiking...
Im just over 200 lbs without my sled gear on and without a tunnel bag or extra fuel.
Is it a good idea to put heavier duty springs on the rear suspension? Or maybe a torsion spring spacer?
Refrigerator is dying. Got it to start running again but its life isnt going to last long.
I dont want fancy stuff. just need a normal fridge but a well built one. Anyone know brands to look at and brands to stay away from?
I meant to buy an avy backpack sooner than this but who knows maybe i can save a few bucks. I made a post about this before but got lazy.
anyway i have narrowed them down to a few choices
Black diamond Jetforce bag - 10L one as I plan to carry as little as possible on my back.
pros
i like...
Question is if anyone leaves their sleds near their riding areas rather than trailer them back and forth each time back home? You would have to find a secure spot to leave them and it would mean you would pretty much have to ride the same area the entire season but as long as there were other...
I am not a fan of really rigid boots for riding. I know they are likely a good idea to have but I just dont like them.
having said that I tried some that were exactly not rigid last year (not a dedicated snowmobile boot) and I had to get them in their biggest size (they dont make anything over...
I have been running klim pants and jacket for the past 12 years so I have the gear that was good before polaris bought klim. I have been thinking about going back to the onesee for a bit though. I was never a fan of bibs though so I dont know if it would be fore me. peak has wicket deals going...
Anyone running the BCA backpacks?
Does anyone know the difference between the regular and the "turbo" version?
I assume the turbo version will give my sled at least 10 more horsepower! ha
Getting the sled ready.
Is there anything in addition to the normal things a guy should look at as far as the Turbo doos?
I remember someone saying about checking bolts on the turbo side of the sled?
Will admit I have never owned one. Gonna get one this year (provided I can find one as they seem hard to find now)
Would prefer to go with the vest style to help keep weight off my shoulders. Im looking for comfort.
Big question is are guys going with the old reliable air canister style or...
Im thinking of doing the course coming up. Is it a good one or should someone try and do one out in the field kind of setting instead? I dont climb mountains much anymore but you cant be too safe and its been awhile.
insulating the new trailer. i have access to a bunch of 2 inch rigid insulation but need 1 inch. Anyone ever cut the stuff down in thickness? all i can think of is call around to wood working shops and see if they have a band saw big enough for it.
Has anyone that had a 2022 sled got the DESS completed on their sled? No one I know has and I have yet to hear anything from the dealer or skidoo on the matter. Think they might just do away with DESS completely?
Do you think Skidoo is actually going to release a bag for the guys that got stuck with the old gauge in the 2022 sleds at all? Doesnt seem like they will be doing so. I couldnt even find one of the new gauge style last year to buy.
My buddy bought a trailer the other day for our sledding trips. I didnt have the funds to help out right away but I want to do all the setup at least inside and what not.
Its lined with plywood already. We have some insulation sheets to put behind the walls but I am wondering what to do with...
Ok thats not even a real word but Im going with it.
Yes I know to fog the machine since i run skidoo. Question is do you fill with fuel and fuel stabilizer or do you take as much of the fuel out as possible? Also I used to jack the back end up to keep the weight off the tracks and those 3...
