    My buddies Lynx rear suspension scissors keep inverting ("grasshopper" legs scissor on either side normally pointing backwards) flip to pointing to front when picking up sled by rear bumper and suspension fully extends. We tightened track up on the hill and it still happened. Any ideas or...

    Just cool it!

    Spring riding getting you hot? Just cool your tunnel with a “custom colour matched” tunnel cooler! Just fill up milk crate with snow, tip it over onto black t-shirt (to protect tunnel), snow melts and helps keep sled running cool on icy trails. It worked well!

    Costco Rocks!

    Just tried out the heated gloves and heated socks from Costco today. Amazing! Such good value at $100 for socks and $149 for full leather gloves both heated with three settings. We were at -14C up top and had toasty toes and fingers for a good 4-5 hours.

    Got a Freeride Turbo, anybody figure out how to get the new display to show RPM in big numbers up top with Engine temp in smaller numbers below? Even just getting the RPM to show in large numbers would help. Thanks!

    Soooo... with Snowcheck season almost upon us, just curious as to how many mountain Km's people have run and WOULD run on their G4 850's? Knock on wood, we've been lucky with ours however my '18 175 is around the 4,000 mark but still has a year warranty on it. Warranty is nice but still...

    Would you be ok?

    Had a real scary moment this past trip when my son fell deep into a tree well and got partially buried by snow... fortunately all turned out ok as he was able to radio buddies who were close by! They quickly came and saved him. BIG THANKS from a relieved Dad as I was stuck myself at the time...

    Spring Spacers done wrong...

    Just wanted to pass along what happened when I installed the torsion spring spacers in the wrong way... they ended up friction welding against the top idler wheel! Both sides were bound so tight to the wheel they would not turn. We had to use a lever to break the spacer apart from the wheel...

    Just send it? Not into your living room...

    Scary story and a good reminder to always wear a tether or better yet get a cordless one so you never have to worry! This story could have had a much worse ending... BTW loving my Laser Phantom cordless tether as it is working flawlessly so far...

    Real life feedback on new 1 ton Fords or Chev/GMC's?

    Been a real Cummins fan since 2007 Dodge 3500 Megacab 5.9L and suffered through the Dodge crap that comes wrappped around it. Had a few more Dodge 1 ton diesels since then and starting to look at options for a new truck within a yesr or so. Any feedback on new alternative brands for diesel 1...

    Less Ferrari, more Cleveland Browns

    Saw the new ‘19 G4 175 today... while hoping my snow check in Lava Red was going to be more of a Ferrari red in the broad daylight it is clearly more like a burnt orange... not even close to a bright red at all. I’m sure it will grow on me and it’ll be a fun ride in the end. Kind of like beige...

    Monosuit or not?

    So as a relatively old guy who grew up in the era of "ski doo suits" which were the original Monosuits back in the early '70's I have resisted trying a Monosuit on this principle alone.... Now its time to get some new gear again and would like to get feedback from those who have tried...

    A couple of years ago I decided to set up my set up my sled trailer as a Night Club on wheels to make it fun to hang out in after sledding so we could save money at the bar, not have to take a taxi, and could have my teenage boys hang out with the guys and enjoy the bull$hit stories and the days...

    Wrecked Track Wanted?

    Looking for two to four wrecked or old sled tracks that I could use as a traction aid to pull my boat out at our beach in front of our place. All goes well on firm sand but spin out and dig down when hitting the soft sand... any other ideas are most welcome! Thanks

    Doesn't it seem funny?

    So when the Axys 800 H.O. motor was introduced to the mountain segment it had spent a full year in trail sleds to prove itself. The story then was given the extreme conditions the mountain sleds were exposed to they wanted to make sure it was reliable. Now they are introducing the 850 with a...
