- Yamaha sr viper 15 ltx dx, mpi 190 turbo, straight line header, 38" mtx front end, mtx steering, mtx seat, xtx 141" skid and 2.25" power claw track
2019 sidewinder xtx le, sleeping for now
Mine just showed up last week for my ltx, went with just two 8" inner wheels, like the track to flex for side hilling off trail, Tod called me personally when he had an issue with my shipping address, awesome service.

Installed the J & T wheel kit on my wifes 2014 rtx se over the weekend. Install was a piece of cake, even left the skid in on this one. 2300 miles on the stock tri-hub. Was definitely running on borrowed time , the bearings where terrible.

I opted to pull the skid and work on the bench.
I wanted to install some Duponts anyway.
Pretty easy to see the Stealth Big Wheel kit is a lot more stout than the stock TriHub.
Everything just has more meat to it. Plus I see a lot less drag with the larger rear wheels. Here's the stock TriHub.
With the Big Wheel Kit everything is pretty much leveled out.
Install is pretty straight forward.
If you've wrenched on your sled before this should be a breeze. Thanks JT Products!
Now we just need to add snow.

Great pictures! No more worrying about trihub failure.
