Ooooh yea! New sled came today.

[adamg]

My new Raptor shocks showed up today!! I'd like to thank Jonathon & Jake with Raptor Performance Shocks for sponsoring me this season.
Can't wait to push these shocks as hard as I can through everything Revy has to throw at them! Just need snow now!!

I honestly think shocks are about the best performance mod you could do to a T3. A Turbo would be nice to though

I see a Like, a Love, and a Recommend button, but where's the Jealous button?

 

[CUSO]

Let it GO BRO!!

LMAO!

Doesn't even look like it's tied down.

Thanks! Sponsors help big time when you're trying to sled every day and want top notch equipment. I'm hoping for a good/safe season.

Good for you! You are absolutely correct on the sponsorships. It is a win-win situation and the dudes that are out there everyday or nearly everyday know dam well the cost of playing. A big thankyou to all the partnerships that are developed in our great world of sledding.

First thing I noticed about these shocks when I picked them up was how light they are,,I was surprized, almost thought there was no oil in them! lol Noticeably lighter than the KYB 40's I ran last season. Got the front shocks put on tonight and will be doing the rears later this week. Bring on the snow!!

 

[lilduke]

Got the shocks put in the skid today, what a PITA, couldn't get the bolts out to drop the skid, what a stupid design. Take one bolt out and the other one will just spin when you try to take it out WTF lol Any who gotter done.

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic,, ill take some good ones when I get the wrap installed, hopefully tomorrow!
On a side note, this guy I work with says they are getting snow in south Africa right now, but none in Revy....

Buddy ? Lol
You spin one out and tread a nut onto it as far as it will go.
Re install part way in and tighten the the nut rather than bolt.
Spin other side out so it's loose and then hold bolt on other side and loosen jam nut.
This is only if you don't have air ?

I agree it's the single thing that's stopping me from pulling my skid and doing some powdercoating. Don't have time for that chit lol

Nope not much fun. If I could go back in time, I would have brought it to the Dealer to get the shocks installed! lol

After your done installing yours you will be a pro. You can do mine, My shocks arrived on Wednesday from raptor and my sleds probably in a crate at Martin Motorsport's.

I probably could help you out with that. On a side note, a Snow and Mud sponsorship package for me would be pretty sweet Haha

Oh good I was starting to think I was the only one who didn't get theirs yet. Thought maybe Trent misplaced my deposit

I was gonna say something too haha. I swapped a track on an old EXT last season and I was cursing that mickey-mouse setup too.

Yeah you'd think they could come up with a better setup than that.

But the way they are, they have a hard time falling out that way
