[waitemr]

hi guys i have a 2009 m8 153 and want to change it to a 162 what all is there to do i know i need the longer rails and tunnel and track but what about changing stuff in the clutch?

should all be the same. don't forget about hifaxes!!! heat exchanger, bumper...

If you go to a 156" Camo Extreme you won't have to do anything but change the track.

I'm holding out for a 156" Powerclaw for another year. I think that would be about the perfect length for little old me.

On a 08 I was wondering if you even had to change the tunnel. The 162 09's are about the same length as a 153 08. What do you guys think?

tried once not to do the tunnel on a lengthen, rear kept hitting the heat exchanger and when you were stuck the bumper wasn't out far enough and you had to bend over the back of the track to lift. also loved to suck the snowflap back up inside the tunnel.

the 09 the heat exchanger is flat 08 wont work.

Looks like i will have to change it out and do it right.

On a side note......Does anyone have a tunnel or rails for a 162????
