YOU KNOW ITS CHEAPER AND EASIER TO LAY THE SLED ON ITS SIDE!!!

...
DO YOU HAVE A GARAGE?? IF SO, BUT A PRESSURE TREATED 4"X4" X 8' POST ACROSS THE ROOF BEAMS AND THEN PUT A HIGH STRENGTH CIRCLE HOOK THROUGH THE 4X4 IN THE ROOG(I HAD TO GO THROUGH INSULATION AND DRYWALL TOO) AND THEN HANG A $39.99 1TON CHAIN HOIST FROM IT AND VOILA: A CHEAP SLED LIFT.......... $39.99, 1 TON CHAIN HOIST(PRINCESS AUTO)........ $10.00, 3" CIRCLE HOOK ON 12" BOLT W/NUTS/WASHERS....... $20.00, 4X4 BY 8' PRESSURE TREATED STUD = SLED LIFT ON THE CHEAP!!!

Yup, I've Used The Chain Hoist Many Times.... If You Have Adjustable Holddown Straps, Then Hook Them Onto The Rear Bumper And To The Chain Hoist And Away You Go.... We'll Be Dooin' 2 Polaris' Right Away.... Cheers
