Watching considering this also

Top pic is what it looks like at 500 ft under full acceleration. 137 frame, 146 skid, 1” Ripsaw, 1.86 Triggers, STM full length tunnel protectors. Little test and tuning. Totally different animal than a 137. Keeping it under control off the line is the biggest fight right now.

That’s a 137 converted to 146 ? Or an uncoupled 146 installed in a 137 frame

Uncoupled 146 installed in a 137 frame. I did not install a new tunnel or tunnel extensions. That’s a stock 137 tunnel.

Thanks by the height of the skis that makes sense
I’m considering extending current skid
And wondering how they work out

Where did you source the 146 from

Yes, everything in the photo.

The mounting points are the same?
Did you just buy the front cross shaft to put in place of the slide arm

The four skid mounting points are identical. For the front two mounting points, the slide arm comes out and collars, bushings, bolts, washers, and nyloc nuts go in. I'm not missing anything am I??

Doesn't seem so.
I think this is VERY interesting.

Snowcaine, what are your initial thoughts on this mod?
Specific to the dig on packed snow vs 137"
