Yeah i just put one in before christmas, and its pretty easy to put in. The only thing that i found harder to do was to get at the bottom bolt that holds the post in. I don't have a sled stand so thats why it was harder. Otherwise it's a great update to the sled. Also i was worried about the cables not being long enough but there is still quite a bit of slack when the bars are up all the ways. I bought it off a guy on kijiji, i forgot how much i paid but i know new they are 250 i think? Not quite sure but around there. Hope this helps.;

I did the opposite, put old steering shaft on my 2010. Pretty straight forward but it helps to roll sled on its side to get that bottom nut off.

so stock cables will be okay? dont need to replace them.

how long to get it done?

Bought from Cat paid 250.00 didnt have any trouble putting it on......

Cat is now saying you have to extend the thottle cable, but I re ran the cables and found enough slack, have not had any problems even when fully extended.


There seems to be a very small amount of play on solid ground, but it's not noticeable in any snow.....

thanks to all. might be a project to go ahead with.

oh and to be clear, I mean the up/down telescoping system.

while your doing the steering post upgrade add the BDX steering post stiffener, it helps strenghten the post when extended for side hilling.

^x2.....another good idea is a post with a "t" top too it. then add a bigger riser that pivots on the "t". im on my 3rd steering post, and i just order my 4th and hopefuly last with the "t" style. if it has the pivot it will pivot instead of bend.

If your doing the post definitely do the anti slop upgrade, tightens up things nicely.
