    Worst day of my life

    Don't even know where to start. Well me my dad and sister trailered about 15 miles over the county line to go for a little ride today. Got about 15 miles into the ride and whack. I hit a big root and busted the lower radius rod on my 99 xc 700 right in half. I was 1/2 mile north of a popular bar...

    Is it just me- Polaris Edges

    Or have these prices not gone down for at least 5 years? For petes sake everyone wants $2500 for a 12 year old sled!!! Most 01 XC 600s with 5k miles people want $2500. You can get an 06 Fusion 600 with 3k miles for $3200 or an 07 iq 600 with 3k for $4000. Why in the world do people want so much...

    Just looking for more suggestions...

    My dad has a 99 XC SP 700 with 7500 miles on it. All season last year he told me it was boggy but he just kept riding it. I've been tinkering with it for the past week. From a dead stop if you punch the throttle it bogs and then backfires. I don't have the best gas in it but it shouldn't be bad...

    2 trailer questions for the experts...

    Probably fit best in tech talk but figured it'd get more views here. 1.) I found a 1995 UNITED enclosed 18'x8.5' + 3.5' vnose. It is steel. I believe a trailer of this kind would run about 2500 lbs. Do you think my 99 GMC Sierra Classic with the 5.7L and 3.73 gearing (rated for 6000 lbs) is...

    Am I thinking the right way here?

    So, I sold my truck on Sunday for twice what i paid for it ($3200, bought it for $1600). Last wednesday I went and looked at a truck that I really liked, 00 Silverado with 115k on it. He was asking $7700. Another guy looked at it Friday, said he'd probably buy it and it wanted it held for him...

    Anybody got the non-covert one? The standard $30 one? Bought one the other day, didn't even think about trying it on, and holy #E11 was it small! Could barely get it on. I have multiple other balaclava that are one-size fits all and they fit without any problems. Mine always get wet around the...

    Can anybody recommend a place to get an alignment done?

    I'm getting new tires tomorrow and I can visually see that my front tires do not sit straight and need to be aligned. I'm getting the tires from Fleet Farm but their alignment guy is booked for tomorrow morning. I'm wondering if there is any better and/or cheaper place to get my front end...

    Custom Pivot Riser

    I have on order a 5" fly riser along with the pivot adapter for my new 500. I took the 3" sportech from that sled and put it on my 700 due to the nice shiny looking aluminum. I was sitting on my sleds this morning with nothing to do, so I came up with an idea. I headed over to acatzl550's house...

I told my mom to pick me up some more mothers since it was on sale at fleet farm, well, she did get it. But she also found Turtle Wax Rubbing compound and polishing compound for $1.25 each...
