    Trail Clean-up

    I know you mentioned this in Journal a few weeks back, and there have been a couple already, but are there still plans for another one at the end of this month? Just trying to get some guys to take a long weekend in the UP.

    Best of both worlds!

    I know there is already a thread about new sleds coming to town but this shot I took yesterday was too good not to give its own title to.

    Redneck, Beer Drinking, Pee in the Lake, Party Boat!

    Pretty much says it all in the title!

    New Roofing, Well Worth the Cash

    I've needed a new roof for a couple years. Been arguing with the previous shingle manufacturer about warranty issues, then the insurance company about hail damage all to no avail yet, but the time came to just put the new one on and produce the receipts should I ever convince IKO their organic...

    Surgery for My Daughter

    For a lot of us this site is not only a great place for fun and info, but it’s also a good source of encouragement. That being the case, and even though our family has great support from family, church and local friends, I couldn’t go through the next chapter in life without sharing this with...

    Handicapped Shooter

    This is my nephew who is a quadriplegic as a result of a car accident about 10 years ago. He’s taken an interest in shooting and just got this device in the past week or so. This was the first trip to the range. He’s hoping to go on a handicapped hunt this fall. I’d say he stands a good...

    Next Year?

    Never to early to start planning trips for next year, and when you need to put in vacation a year at a time it's always good to have the right dates. The Ride-In has been the first weekend in February, so just making sure you'd still plan that way since next year Feb starts on a Saturday...

    '69 Panther

    Been looking at getting into the vintage sled arena and have found this sled. Don't know much about it as I haven't seen it in person, but guy says it hasn't run in 3 years, turn freely, looks in decent shape and is priced right for me as he just wants it gone. What am I getting myself into if...

    Trailside Lodge

    I just saw a Banner Ad for the Trailside Lodge on the Home Page when I logged on and that made me wonder what was happening with them. Anyone have an update?

    Time for Farve & Pack to Come Together?

    Saw this article earlier. So with all the WI and MN guys on here I figured you'd all have something to say about this (maybe even get some comments from the IL guys too) and sometimes it's fun to throw something out there and stand back to see what happens so have at it...

    Stabilizing Hitches

    There is another thread going about trailer weights and a few people have talked about stabilizing, or weight distribution hitches. Rather than taking that thread off the original topic I thought I'd start this one and see what experience people have with them. What type of vehicles did you...

    How Much Trailer is To Much?

    Well I didn't plan on it, but I sold my 2 place Trition trailer that I just bought last summer. Too good of a deal to pass up and I ultimately want an inline so I decided to let it go. Here's the question: I only have 2 sleds, but may add a third. I pull with my Explorer Sport Trac and don't...

    Drop a different engine in?

    Rather than doing the top end on the ZL this summer, I'm thinking of dropping a new (used) engine in. Both are 2000's, would go from a 500 efi to a 600. It only has 1600 miles (mine has 6600) but it is a carb. I'd like to stick with the efi. How tough would it be, can I use the efi...

    Re-Assemble Diamond Drive

    Well I got it all back together with new BDX parts and nothing left over. That's the good news. Unfortunately I didn't take notice, or photos of the shift assembly when I took it out of the gear case housing. There are two black slider blocks that go on the end of the forks. The holes in...

    Lost My Friend Today

    We planned a weekend snowmobile trip with 3 other families for Feb 27-March 1, 2004 to Hayward, WI. We all rode a lot on Saturday the 28th but the high temp was 48 degrees and there were only a couple people riding liquid cooled machines so we started evaluating our plans for Sunday the 29th...

    1975 Swedish Trapper

    Check out this ad from 1975. The copy essentially says: A man (probably a trapper) made and handed out these photos as a commercial for himself with women with a twinkle in his eye, to find a female companion. He is especially proud of his hand-knitted p...is-cover, and adds that it can be...

    Pulling a Diamond Drive

    OK,so I've got everything off I need, but the nut at 11:00 is on a bolt, not a stud and it's just spinning. I know there should be an easy solution but nothing I'm finding spells it out. One rag said it takes a torx but there is no place for that. Here are a couple photos after I pulled the...

    Feb 15-18, D's Base Camp

    Had a great time with 14 guys riding out of D's for 3 days. Too many photos to share so here's a YouTube link. Watch out cause it's 11 minutes long. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJrbHpNlQks Can't wait to come back and do it all again!

    Change in my Ride-In Plans

    Well some of you from the "did you get fat" thread and some of my other posts may remember I have been planning to attend the ride-in for some time. We fixed up my son's sled and this was the father/son weekend to try out his new long track and hook up with some new friends from the site. As...
