Paraclete,
You need to seal your driveway as well. LOL!
Seriously, nice job with the photoshop. It really helps to see it rather than to just visualize it.

Nice job! Gotta love Photo Shop...originally thought just red exhaust covers but like your rendition with the red vents - red on both! Looks good and please send pics once complete.

heelingcowboy1 said:Just a word of caution from a "been there done that" situation that I had--I see that you have spoked idlers on the inside part of the skid(by the front shock) Mine actually Flattened out in not too long a time where there was no spoke. Made more of a hexigon shape out of them in just a few hundred miles. Sled does look good though!!![]()
I have about 4K miles on the Yamaha accessory spoked wheels on the inside of my rails with no issues. Why do you think that they are more susceptible to damage on the inside of the rails?

Because he is running studs and where they are positioned in the skid---they are in the front where any rocks-stumps-logs will first be impacted. I ended up putting in Excells X wheels and they lasted much longer but even they fell apart after about 1000 miles. The 07-09 RTX skid is rough on certain components.

I have studs as well but I think that my skid is different as my inner wheels are towards the back of the skid.
