polarisconvert you don't like the mono skid?
I have the proaction and as we all know they are less desirable then most to say the least. Did you have the proaction in prior? If so you notice a big difference between the two?
I'm keeping my eyes open and trying to see if the difference in ride is worth the difference in cash to possibly up grade some day. Just gathering inf on all potential skids i could put in i guess you could say. I know i can put in the m1o or the zx skid as two other option as well but just asking all angles so if the day comes i can upgrade i know what it is i want to do.

I am sure the mono is a good skid and a definite upgrade to your skid. There are too many people that like the skid for it to be junk. I may have been too rough on mine in the bumps. My rails broke, W arm broke. Slides wear out too fast. Added bigger boggie wheels and marginal wheels and I was not happy with the ride. It is a great studder bump skid but not great in the bigger bumps. I have the Cat Z1 skid installed and looking forward to the first ride.

where did you get your tunnel extension from and what size did you go with polarisconvert?
