Ha! That's rich! You've talked with your doo mechanic buddy. I'd say doo's XP front end chassis has at least a design for longevity issue.

Nice sled Nitroman
Have you stopped staring at yours yet! Removed all the unwanted stickers today and gonna mount the handguards later. Will post better pics then! It handles really well in the garage LOL! I really like it so far glad I pulled the trigger and can't wait to get it on the snow(who in their right mind would say otherwise)! The spare belt mount is a little bit of a pita though. Not polishing the tunnel on this one it only looks good in the garage gonna have it wrapped next summer I think.
No I have not stopped staring at mine
My only plans are to change weights in the clutch, it comes clutched for 6 to 8 thou, and I ride West in 8 to 10, and Michigans UP from 600 to 1200. Im looking into a tunnel bag from Sled Solutions, will keep the spare belt in there, along with crap in my beck pack, and quit wearing the pack, it gets to be a pain after awhile...literally.Looking at the Skinz tunnel bag and sled cover from Sled Solutions as well. I have the. underseat bag that I keep my MSR stove, fuel, and meals in. Will always wear the pack though. I'm gonna go the first trip without ventins but am expecting to vent the clutch side at some point before the Febrary trip. I bought the weights for the flat lands as well as 10-12 for the snowies prolly gonna get some 8-10's as well. I am really impressed with the sled as it sits and can't wait to get it out west!
Actually I was looking into the E-Series Tunnel bag, Made exclusively for Sled Solutions. http://www.sledsolutions.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=165_224&products_id=655
The Skinz bag is nice as well.

just got home from Togwotee and we rode with friend who has new Pro Rmk 163 and i will tell you this...after watching this sled all week and riding it this is the new bench mark for mt sleds this sled flat out rock and out performed all the others......we had a few hills that the snow was deep and had to take a cpl shots at getting over!!!not the pro up and over every time first try.....when i rode it i took same hill i took on my m8 both fresh snow same pitch on hill and the pro will do what you ask of it with ease....i was able to slow and start again on the hill that i did not even try that on my sled.....
Good to hear I can't wait to get mine out there! Tired of the garage rides ready to see for myself what it can do. Lot's of Cat's in my group to outride! LOL(not trying to start anything here)

You guys don't know how much torture it is to read this for me by not getting one this year. But I love what I here! so keep reports coming in Guys, Sounds as if Poo has got it figured out. In fairness, We also want to here the dislikes too.
Got to ride one!!
On my way back into Togwotee Lodge 2 days ago I came across a couple of guys that were stuck and said they needed help out. They were new to sledding and had rented 2 Pro RMK 155" and with all of the snow they had troubles. Basically after getting them out I asked if I could ride one. It was a really nice sled!!! Easy to throw around and carve with and had tons of power. I left those guys with some advice... GET YOUR BUTTS OFF YOUR SEAT, STAND ON YOUR BOARDS AND RIDE THAT BAD AZZ SLED!!!! Also one of the guys I rode with that day had a Pro RMK 163", he was unbeatable on climbs. I bleed ski-doo but way to go Polaris for building a killer mountain sled.

My favorite one Wayne, these guys rip up this entire section. The Pros shine over the lone IQ RMK.

Don't forget Kev, I will Valet park your sled for you at Cooke every night. Why because that's what friends do. LOL. Kev, If you are not planning to ride it before Cooke City then bring it on over this weekend (Avy class) I have my enclosed trailer at my house and I will run it up to Rick's place (indoor heated). I am going up anyways. Promise I won't ride it. (little white lie). Just trying to help you free up some garage space! (I just should of ordered one).
