2006 apex freshen up

[snoprof6]

Managed to score a seat off an 07 rtx to get rid silver stripe and the seat is indeed a lot stiffer with the styrofoam base in it. Next year I'm blacking out the tunnel stiffeners. I put a 2011 apex bar riser on it. Not sure if I'm too keen on then as they are great for when I'm standing but sitting they may be a bit tall for me. The skis get incredible it'd. I'm actually going to switch to a shorter carbide to reduce the steering effort. Lastly for those of you running without a transfer rod, my rear scissor arm extended and collapsed the wrong direction. It happened as I came over a snow bank slowly allowing the front of the skid to collapse all the way, and the rear arm extended and collapsed against the rails. Easy fix, got a crow bar and pry' it back. Probably messed up my powder coating but.... Oh well. I'm going to put the transfer rod back in reluctantly, was wondering if you guys have found any other solutions.

Got the sled back in one piece over the weekend. Got all my new bushings installed, got the skid installed, decided to make a block off plate for the exhaust, hopefully I can avoid an extra 30-40 pounds of ice in my tunnel.

And here is the finished product. Just gonna re-adjust the toe in on the skis and she's ready to rock and roll.

My two pride and joys. I'm kinda partial to black, the 06 rides far better, but the 02 is faaaaarr faster.....

where did you get the tunnel reinforcer?
