Bulkhead strength, bumpers and crash damage.

That's down right scary! Good for you for being proactive... PLUS, the Alt. Impact A arms are much cheaper than stock.

Yeah, each hit is different, that's for sure. When my tunnel folded, the a arm wasn't even bent THAT bad.

For comparison, here is also a pic of a Polaris Extreme Bumper, after a much less severe hit.

Thoose dont hold up for much. I have ordered a "Asker-bumper" now. A Swedish guy and also a Snowest-user that makes nice ones.

My Polaris "Extreme" bumper got a little crocked last time I were out. Didnt notice that out riding and dont really know what caused it. Saw that back home in the garage.

Maby happend when I got stuck between some small birches in a hill and when pulling one ski to get between and loose the sledge went forward (just because of the incline) about two meters and stopped against another tree, bumper first.

The middle downward tube was slight bent and on one side the bended area on the tube that goes under hood (exhaust-side) had folded more and was more flattened.
Tried to bend the small middle tube back straight but the material cracked a little bit from the weld. Not worth to try and fix it.
