That old trail has been there longer than most anyone alive today and from WW2 jeeps to modern 4x4s, sleds, dirtbikes etc. has always been a nice ride. I am totally against taking out these old roads. Let nature take it's course and they usually wash out in the end anyway if not maintained. We...

The dealer in Cranbrook has top HD wrench. He used to own an after market shop and knows how to work on the old iron as well as the new. Not many dealers " mechanics" know how to do other than change parts or lube if your lucky and I include automotive dealers as well. If you find a good HONEST...

I`ll throw in my 2 bits on the 6.7 vs 5.9. My previous truck was an 01 5.9 24 valve regular cab 5 spd. Probably the best truck I have ever or ever will own. Smooth shifting tranny good fuel economy ( the lowest I ever got was 15 with the truck loaded and towing a ridiculously loaded trailer) and...

Thanks, there definately is no place for a spare belt on this sled. They say put it in the under seat storage but under this seat is so small I`m not sure a belt would even fit plus I need that space for other things. Under the hood is where it should be. I`ll mount a bracket under there...

I bought a 2009 Skandic SUV a couple of weeks ago and not only did it not come with a spare belt but also no place to put one. Is this common on todays sleds? One would think at least a belt clip would be mounted someplace as always in the past. Also trying to figure out how to lift the rear of...

Too bad they only fit Rev models and I have a Skandic. Looks like a good idea though. Much better than the little wheels on other types.

Thanks, I`ll check it out.

That sounds like a good idea. I`ve actually thought of making something up out of metal but wood is easier.

These idiots actually exist and they are out in the public with the rest of us. There was a guy that lived near us who rolled his lawnmower on way home from the nearest general store/ liquor store, a round trip of about ten miles. The local volunteer fire department and ambulance were dispatched...

Has anyone seen or used ski wheels or "skiwheelz" to move a sled around on non snow surfaces. I have seen them on the internet and wonder how well they work especially on gravel. There are some that stay attached to the skis and others that are placed under the skis when needed, more for...

I just sold a one of those SKS yesterday. One of the reasons for selling it was overheating on hardpack trail or hard crusted snow. This problem is common to all watercooled sleds. They need loose snow to throw up on the coolers. The SKS has coolers under the running boards as well as the...

Jims makes some big claims of what these machines will do but being a natural skeptic I question some of those claims. Hence looking for people who actually use these things. One of my concerns is pushing a 500lb ( weight according to the manufacturer web site) blower up an icy road with my...

Thanks much for the info.

How big of an area do you clear and what type of surface, is it level or hill? Do you chain up? Do you think a smaller machine could handle a blower? My biggest is a 450 and I have 1/2 mile of mountain road with a couple of fairly steep spots. Also what make of blower do you have? I appologize...

I have seen their website but not sure if an atv blower is the way to go out here on our long winding road. It may be asking too much of a small machine.
