Never selling this one. It was wrote off by insurance company last spring.

Been thinking about a 3inch track, race hood and a Linderman built motor.

Call it the stock 19 killer. I think mod sleds are where its at right now..

That guy on here with xm 163 2.5 875 linderman would be good start Just slap 3” on. Has shocks etc etc low miles. Maybe swap in your custom front arm for when your sending it

Was the air box cracked for a hit earlier on in the sleds life?


Had a close call today. A piece of my airbox got sucked into my throttle body, and the throttle was stuck open at full pin.

Luckily I was climbing and the snow was deep. Took me a couple seconds to pull my tether and that seemed like a long time
under the circumstances.

These things should really have a throttle safety switch and a tether.

Was my own fault, but still....


This piece of plastic could have been the end of me.

Months when I'll be looking.

Got a 15 163 xm skid at work if you need a set up bolt in skid , for a spare

Missing the shocks from it last I seen it lol

Spare skid would be a good idea. What I really need is a spare sled! haha

When I get a new one, I'm going to keep this one for back up.

Well seeing as you keep removing it, bolts won't sieze in lol

Unless you Saskatchewan locktie them once ( cross thread)



Lol I've done enough g4 drive shafts I can swap them out without dropping track and skid too

Got my front torque arm back, this time we beefed up the bottom and the linkage. We really should have just done this the first time and
could have saved me some work and down time... got it back together and should hold up for a while.

Red arrows are where he added plate and the blue arrow is where I wish he would have boxed in but oh well.

I need to get a shop in Revelstoke so I can do this stuff myself.

could water collect and freeze if it was closed up?

That wouldn't really be an issue. Probably will get some in there, but it wont have any negative effect.
and the linkage has holes in the bottom too.(cant see in the pic)
