Here are a couple of pictures... some are the same in the other thread.
I also will need to be doing some work to the sled.
Bent the tunnel to the point it has a tear, rear shocks will need an upgrade, tore a valve off the front rear shock, blew a belt so bad it bent the plate in the foot well...

Stoli,

I think you need a new belt.

Looks like you had a great time

 

[Stoli]

I think I need to start buying my belts in bulk... Lol

Trip was great. Great area - good group to ride with.

 

[Dimebag]

Sounds good.

I just got home from 9 days of riding.

It was great, but of course i had a major crash which kind of set back the whole vacation. Back to work, and in two weeks hopefully everything will be good and ready for another 10 days in the mountains

What did ya break Dime?

Product review time... The Skinz front end with the Exit shocks is really nice in the powder. I know a lot of people are running floats with this kit but these Exits perform well with a lot of adjustability.

Spindle, lower a-arm, subframe bent even more, gps, helmet, stomach and a knee.

Hi, i really like your 45 degree chrome snorkel. can you tell me where you got it and or what size snorkel i need to fit on the stock mcx intake tube? Thanks!

 

[sonds]

I believe it came from O'Reilly auto parts, i think it was 2" and the intake is 1"1/2 but they had the reducers there.

What did you hit to make that tunnel bend ?
What is your fix?

I'm thinking a plate on the outside of that week spot?

Nice Nytros btw

You end up cutting a lot of material away from the tunnel when you install the Skinz boards and rear bumper, that and in combination with a TS drop bracket make it very weak right were Stoils bent.

for anyone else that may be interested in making a snorkel for their mxc kit, the inside tube diameter is 2.25 inches. i just got a 2.25 inch diameter 90 degree bend tube off ebay, with 6 inch legs and then a 2.25 inch aluminum joiner off of ebay as well to build my own snorkel. total cost was about $40 or so.

MCX has a deep snow snorkel that they sell, but its just a rad hose with a 90 bend in it.
looks kinda cheap.

I just use radiator tube from napa, like $25 and its super flexible and durable and you can get it in 45 and 90 degree bends.
