XTX upgrades?

[Viper S]

Picked up a nice XTX last month for good price and wondering about upgrades to add this Summer. Top of list include 4th wheel, rear cooler, and extra fuel carrier. Any other good add ons u guys might recommend? Skis have King Cobra runners on already...It is studded down middle too. How about snow wheels on rails or do new hyfax solve the prob? Thanks for input, can't wait til snow!

must haves for nytros imo are:

OFT rollover valve with tether
OFT relocator
some form of opened up running boards, better boards, airframes, ect...

Once you get those it all depends where you want to go with your sled. do you want to dress it up a bit? different bumpers, decals, wraps, colored accessories....

If you decide to go towards the performance side of things, you can either put boost (i like MCX) on it or go with an N/A build.

excell wheels, maybe a trail tank? i think a roll over valve/tether is a great investment

Oft roll overs? Was even thinking of Mt. skiis...

Split Rail Skis! I have them on my standard Nytro and by far the best mod I have done to it. My son wouldnt even drive my Nytro before I put the skis on it,would only drive my Apex. After I put the skis on he loves the sled. So much that I bought one for him. I will also be buying a set hfor his. Pricey but worth every penny. Shane

Oft roll overs?

so if it gets tipped on its side it doesnt loose all the oil

Good advice thus far, I've already purchased Yamaheaters too. Saw that the HW are also an issue- big surprise... Will do the oft stuff but really want to know if the extra wheel kit can solve hyfax issues. Are these the big concerns that need doin?
May add clutch stuff too...

roest skid plate, 2" riser if your 6 foot or more

Ice scratchers and a tunnel block off plate

I've heard that shiming your skis will help with darting, but haven't tried it myself, yet. Will be trying it for next winter, and if it works it's the cheapest and best mod you can do.

Check out this and this.

recommend replacing the arms that hold the handlebars with much stronger ones. plus some other nuts and bolts stuff

Block off plate and suring up handlebars, can I get more info, never heard about either before...? Thanks! I was thinking more about rear heat exchanger and wheel kit.Will definitely shim and add Mt. skiis. like last 3 Yammies should have come with...

Already got Yamaheaters from Rock - thanks!

Shimming the skis does work I have an old junk track laying around, so I made a couple of shims out of the old track.

Don't know about shimming with anything but hyfax type material I've gotten from Bergstrom, along with triple pts. Or a set of doollies...I don't know if a tipover kit is needed for my kind of riding... Fashioning some racks for a couple extra gas cans up back this Summer too!
