Here is a thread i started on SW, and have been collecting info on 'tunnel mods' as well.

Basically everything the previous poster linked.

THE MONSTER MAX ONE IS HOT GUYS,,INCLUDES DROP BRACKETS SIMILAR TO RATSLED'S

 

[08nytromtx]

I'm giving some thought to fabing one up myself because of how limited the production of these are from monstermax and how expensive they are. With that being said, what type and strength sheet metal would you use for something like this? I really like the one monstermax has and i plan on making mine look fairly similar.

GO Skinz...GREAT people, KILLER service, and will always help with info etc. etc.

mtdream, you got any close up pictures of your brace on the tunnel?

Looks like you located yours a lot farther down the rails than the skinz kit shows on their site. I'm looking into this kit, but I routinely strap a snowboard on the side of my tunnel so that brace in the location in the picture from the skinz site gets in the way. If I can move it forward it might work better.

you can move that brace anywhere you want...it is set for handling any 90 degree angle...Their kit allows for a LOT of customization...I would not recommend eliminating that bracket, as the tunnel on the Yammies are pretty weak...and this kit makes them plenty strong for all us mild mannered riders...

heres my mountain max tunnel ext project,,probably not for those who dont have good mech ability,,they are a little rare to get,,but comes with the hardware and photo instructions. I opted to install better boards at this time also,,do alot of powder riding and stock runners suck even on the new 09 for in the deep

 

[evil1]

another angle of the ext.

"Started" the install of the Skinz tunnel brackets and cut the boards back. Just the bracket alone added quite a bit of strength to the boards. I also added WRP boards in this process too. I am not a small person, and can really feel the difference in the overall boards now with these 2 additions. Some pictures of the results.

opps - project is over for the night... got my finger too close to the grinder. Guess that is why your not suppose to remove the guard!!!

 

[r0tax]

so, is that a Skinz bumper?
doesn't look like their equipment..??

looks good tho. i like it.
