For The Ego
Now, if you have the money … or the ego, then you can get serious about making your sled the best it can be. These mods don’t come cheap. But when you are buying horsepower and handling, you want to be on the upper end of performance.
These mods are usually more technical when it comes to the install process. Although some are fairly close to “bolt-on,” most require a level of expertise and tuning. But that’s okay … you need to start building new relationships since your wife is likely to be throwing you out of the house because of the expense of your toys.
And if you happen to be female and into these kinds of mods, there are likely 1,000 guys lining up and ready to propose to you. This is where we take snowmobiling to the next extreme.
