Chris, I love my MBRP 4". Sounds great and is reasonably priced...

Good afternoon guys. Been a slow morning around the house so far but trying to motivate myself to do something.

We had a really good time yesterday too! Cannot wait to go camping. We could this week as warm as it is going to be.

Dito Jay!

It was a lot of fun. Now I need to get parts and get my sled back together. I will have to call my guy tomorrow and see if he can locate me a suspension. Will a Xtra 10 fit with my track or do I need to get a 8"?

I'll have to call my parts guy and see if this will fit. Also see if he will take less $.

I think we decided that the 10 would fit with slight modifications?

Your track wouldn't be an issue Cory. What I don't know is are there different versions of the xtra 10 or do they all mount the same? Hopefully your parts guy can answer that.

Didn't find any motivation so far. I don't foresee that I will either.

I took a nap this afternoon. Then I went to the shop and unloaded my sandbags and then went to Sams Club. And I'm spent.

Good evening guys.

looks like motivation is low today.

I got the engine back in the sled and almost everything hooked back up. Going to bleed the cooling system overnight to get all the air out and work on the carbs.

Xtra 10 will work with your track Cory.

It will fit, with slight modifications. You need to move the location of the rear bolts ahead about 2". The front bolts are close, about 3/8" of an inch too far back. But, using them as a reference, you can drill the rear holes to match these dimensions


That seems like a fair price for the skid if it is complete and the shocks are good. Can't hurt to offer less though.

At least Mike got something done. And Chris got a nap in...

Dave, when do you want to work on your sled?
