    Just got back from Revy. Stayed at Days Inn. Paid $165 +tax for two queen bed suite on second floor. This is the type of room that we usually staying. This was supposed to be the "sledder rate" which appears to be cheaper than what is on the website booking page. I think Friday and Saturday...

    cr racing tunnel, how many pounds do I save on a nitro?

    The CR tunnel is easy to put on. Some of the rivet and bolt holes are pre-drilled, so the alignment and connection to bulk head are easy. The hardest part was getting the running board support brackets at the front of the tunnel to connect properly. I had to weld a little tab on the bracket...

    Which Yamaha dealer??

    I bought my Nytro from JC a few years ago. I have also discussed numerous upgrades with him and bought aftermarket parts and my turbo kit from him too. It is great when you can walk in his shop and he knows you by name.

    chain case oil?

    I agree. I used Mobil 1 synthetic ATF in my Summit for 3 years and never saw any sign of chain wear or filings in the chain case. I am pretty sure that Dodge specifies ATF for the transfer case in my truck. I have recently been to using Shell synthetic chain case oil in my Nytro. You can get it...

    Negative Boost Gauge Reading?

    Yes, normal. Vacuum initially until turbo is spinning fast enough to generate positive pressure in the intake. Mine reads the same. Does your gauge read zero when the sled is off? I zero'd mine at home and it will read some positive pressure in the staging areas which are at lower elevation...

    Anodizing in Calgary and area

    I speak from experience here. I had my stock Yamaha rails powder coated. They both cracked. A buddy of mine also had some AC rails done. One of his broke too. I am not sure if it the grade of aluminum is the problem. Maybe the rails were heated to an elevated temperature, or perhaps cooled...

    Tire Chains - Where to get them

    I started this thread a couple of yeasr ago and ended up getting my chains from Titan Supply in Calgary. I have uncommon size tires on my truck (285/75-17 about 34") and they ended up taking a set of heavy duty chains that would fit 35" tires and cut them down. The guys went out to the parking...

    Aluminum 2 Place Trailer

    Check out Charmac. My buddy bought one a couple of years ago. It seems to be built a bit beefier than the Triton he had before and came with larger wheels and tires. He got it at Don Laing near Ponoka. It is a V nose that you can drive off the front, but did not come with any slush guards...

    Can i use ATF in my chaincase?

    Yep. I use Mobil 1 synthetic ATF in my sled. Use it in my Dodge. I have also used Shell Advanced Synthetic chaincase oil frpm Can Tire. It works fine too and is about $9 for 500ml so a bottle lasted me two years.

    Sled deck help?

    What have you seen for rolling trays? I need to get something, but I don't have a lot of height between the box and the bottom of my ramp. I'd still like to be able to put my gear bag under the deck, but space is tight as is, so I'd need some kind of tray that sits very close to the box.
