have any pics of the install you did.. the istructions are vague and for a 163. so if you have a pic or could take one that would be awesome.

I put a kit on mine...very simple to do. The placement for the wheels are the same for both the 155 and 163. 4 on the outside of the rail and 2 on the inner side . Makes a hell of a difference in saving your sliders.$143 for the kit .

thats exactly what mine looks like without me adding any wheels yet. as for why i need pics of an 08 with them added on a 155. but thanks for the pic.

how many wheels on your sled now.holes are pre-drilled in rails.

Keng · 03-18-2009, 10:30 PM

4 outside of rail 2 inside and the two rear wheels. thats how it came and ive had it since new. i have almost 1100 miles on those sliders and they are almost shot again. and its wearing them out just behind the 1st set of outside wheels. the rest of the sliders look like new.

track ajusted to spec? 1100 is pretty good.low snow conditions?might havta use scratchers more.i have 700 miles on mine 400 mountains 300 on the flats sliders look new used scratchers twice.

i have my track as loose as i can run it without it skipping. and i would say more trail riding need to get to my spots somehow and well i am in ontario. lol. they kinda try to push trails. lol. so trying to do anything to make them last longer than they are. i dont have scratchers.. cause well the trails are usually just packed snow not ice. and its only that one place where they are wearing out. and the way you mount scratchers i dont think they would do anything. cause they wear out about 2 inches away from the front set of wheels. they wear out kinda like a wave just in that spot as well.. i could probably mount them on a short track sled and get another coulple seasons out of them

i would put on scratchers they work on packed, spray snow in the suspension and it carries it forward to front.also helps with engine temps.

Keng · 03-18-2009, 11:23 PM

well ill try those.. now i have a set of 6 wheels sitting on the bench. lol.. oh well spare wheels i guess lol

timbo · 03-18-2009, 11:26 PM

take them back buy scratchers,enough $ left over for beer

Keng · 03-18-2009, 11:28 PM

they charge 25% restocking.. ill just keep them. they dont stock much for upgraded parts at my dealer. or any dealer close to me.. well ones for deep powder machines

do you have hand guards on your sled and what brackets did you use to mount them?

timbo · 03-18-2009, 11:31 PM

nope they would just get broken off,wear leather gloves.
