This sled more then any I can recall, has me super psyched! So much potential and so much buzz around the performance side of these models, its just addicting! Im afraid to total up the costs of the dozens and dozens of parts I ordered in the last 6 weeks or so. All that talk about just doing a few mods then waiting til next season, well that all went out the window when all these sales started happening...lol
Some short Videos of the new sled coming home are uploading now and Ill stick them in here in a few mins....and for now just a few pics of her.

Really excited to finally own a lift!
I have to comment on the new Lift-a-Sled Aluminum sled lift that I just got last week, this thing is even better then I had read in all the great reviews. It adjusts fully to fit a wide variety of positions. The soft yet heavy duty wrap on the main cross bar and two rear feet, make me not even worry about marring the new red tunnel. And it does not even come close to contacting the chaincase or rotor drops. I got a short video of that too. Going to be a huge pleasure to work on this sled without bending over all the time.
Goes very high-Im 5-11" and its more then enough!

Yeah pricey...But after coming close to buying foam only, and doing all the upholstery....I just bought one as my dealer gave me such a deal. Just slap it on in seconds. Ill keep the stocker to sell when sled goes to next owner down the road i guess.BTX seat looks sweet! I want one too lol, I bet that set u back a few bucks.

I've watched the vids no problemDo those vids play for you guys here on this site? Or does it not load? I cant play them. But I can play other videos like Bens I always watch here....
If not you can always tap on youtube and watch them there, but hope to figure this out. I have a PM in to Mr Sled and maybe he will tell me the trick..lol
