Summer RX-1 Project Complete

[RX Buck]

Hey guy's,

I have been working on my sled this summer and I thought I would share with you. It is a 03 RX with 8,000 mile on it. I stretched it out to 136 and installed a M10 along with a rip saw track studded. I was tired of breaking the proaction rear suspension along with my back so I think the upgrade will be a nice change.

I also installed a Apex RTX seat on it and a ABR riser. It feels so much better to sit on that before. I am of course not the first guy to do this on this forum so I already know this is a good upgrade.

During my tear down of the driveshaft I noticed that the outboard drive bearing was of course bad for the second time so I replaced that. Also, the front A arm bushings were very worn so I changed out all of them and had the arms painted white (which I think looks great).

The racing stripes some of you may have seen before, I did this a few years ago and still think it looks awsome.

I wanted everyone to know how much I appreciate this site and all of the knowledge floating around. I think it is great to have a site where everyone can share their experiences good or bad to help others learn more about a product or about how to perform a certain mod.

Man, I have a sickness with these sleds! I don't know about you guy's but I for one cannot wait until the first snow flake falls!

Very nice, I love custom sleds.

Looks nice, but no snowflap?

Your buddies will make you bring up the rear

 

[Jack_Shaft]

Ah, while I'm at it... did you use or create a template for the hood stripes? They look nice, wouldn't mind doing mine with a flat black pair.

 

[RX Buck]

I still need to install the snow flap. I would not want to ride behind it without one. I did the stripes by hand and I do not think I have the template yet but I can look for you Jack Shaft.

Thanks for the comments

Man if you can come across a template I'd be a happy camper.

Nice job, looks great!

I spent the better half of last fall, and winter (after I busted the bulk-head) doing allot of the same things to mine. You are going to LOVE that '06 seat.

HEY BUCK!!! NICE JOB!!! very clean! I try and tell everyone

once you start it gets worse!! looks good this year! wait till next summer when you start geting ideas again!!!

The only thing I see that would look better is... that yellow spring!! powdercoat it!! ( my 2 cents)

I wish you were closer to toronto! I would get you to bring you sled to the TORONTO SNOWMOBILE show in oct!!

were doing CUSTOM SLED VILLAGE again this year!!!

your sled is one of the nicest sleds I have seen on here!!!!

take care of it!!!

I dont say this too often


THAT LOOKS AWSOME!!

 

[WarriorBeads]

sweet ride....very unique looking. I agree with Custom Sled Shop. The only thing that looks out of place is the yellow spring. JMO.

 

[RX Buck]

I agree with you guys, I think I will have to have the rear spring powder coated white.
