Build plans for the off season.

[GPApex]

So with another summer fast approaching I find myself dreaming of this summers build. My sled to date is very stock, but i plan on changing that over the summer months. Im going with a challenger extream 162/16 with 2.5" paddles, Timbersled rear skid, 4" drop brackets and a 2 wheel kit with 8" billits.
Chargers are still to much for my budget, but I think this will be a good start.
Anyone else plan on doing some updates this summer?

off season

looks like a good start,i am going to make some steering parts out of chromolly,get rid of the heavy steel shafts,and was ratcheting last ride,so drivers are a must and the challenger extream will be included,prolly new bulkhead bushings as well.

More lightweight stuff, rods,pistons and turbo for me

Firstly and most important improvement im going to make is watch lots of videos so i can hopefully leech some riding tips from the TV so it looks like i know what the hell im doing.

timbersled rear suspension
reverse install
parking brake delete
riser
DIY snowmobile lift
handguards
safety kill switch
fix lots of broken plastic bits
DIY replace plastic suspension bushings
DIY 2 sled storage rack
DIY reinforce lower a-arm bulkhead mount
skid/bash plate
a-arm guards
taller strap
replace hyfax
DIY homemade scratchers
larger aluminum rear wheels
remove all other trackwheels
DIY homemade drop brackets

Thats about all i can think of right now.
Oh yeah, and i'll probably change the oil too.

"shot by wife" ...LOL

YES...this will be the first thing to avoid...the wifes angry looks,gun shots or stabbings...LOL.

My list starts like this:
Track= PowerClaw or Extreme 174...undecided....lighter faster track speed or longer slower but more foot print...opinions?
Custom boards with edge coolers
K-Mod skid Carbon fiber 9" wheels, Hyperfax
Diamond S or Polycarbonate hood ... undecided
Wild Child steering stem, RSI bars/grips/risers/strapp
MPI a-arms, spindles, Oil lite bushings
Excell header & donuts
Power Commander
Remove radiator
Remove ebrak

Now how to explain the importance of these items to the spouse and live to ride when there done.......I might not get them all but if you show them a BIG list then they'll easily compromise for a few things...... Works like a charm!
