Good morning Jim.

I think we only received about 2-3" here. We had 6-8 up north. Great riding. I didn't look but I think we ended up with about 350 miles on the sleds. And my sled rolled past 13,000 miles too.

Well the Taurus got new shocks and struts tonight plus the tires rotated. I should have done that a long time ago. The struts were super easy. Shocks were a little bit of a bugger but not horrible. Kind of expected the opposite.

Evening Jay! I bet it rides pretty smooth now. I remember when I put new shocks on one of my past pickups. Couldn't believe how nice it was. One of those things that never gets changed but should.

Not for a 4 stroke. That is just getting broke in. But like any sled, the rest needs periodic bearings, bushings, track replacements
