Take it easy with that x-ray vision!
Appreciate the follow up. I am contemplating stretching my 141 to a 153, with Ice Age rails. I have a TKI offset kit i am running 10" wheels on stock rails but, heard the Ice Age rail slots dont fit the TKI offset kit. Ski
The ice age slots are cut pretty rough IMO. On the recent sets I've got the endmill was run quick and the slot isn't quite a full 1/2", almost like it was cut with a re-sharpened endmill that wasn't calibrated for or a finish pass got missed. Maybe Ice Age was going for a tighter fit on the stock Cat cast axle adjuster blocks? The TKI inserts are cut a couple thousandths under 1/2" and fit stock painted rails. A quick file job inside the slots on the Ice Age rails would fit the TKI blocks. That is what I'm doing with the other stock elevate skid I'm building right now.
I'm in Billings, but I occasionally venture south that direction.
Better add my photo too. This skid needed a stiffer rear shock setup with Elevate spindles. Still does with the Riot spindles.
You find that at the ski hills lol! They let the race run there since the ski season is done now. Still a few of the staff and spectators around for the event.
appreciate the follow up, and pics. what did you use there for anti stab, and the lower shock cross shaft with idlers? is that shock idler set up bdx? Have them on our 09 M's. wasnt sure if they worked on the new gen proclimb/ascender chassis. your set up looks great! I need this in my life

I have same setup in mine with BDX shock shaft idlers and anti stab. Same BDX kit fits 08-19. Hoping wheel bearings last for a few seasons.appreciate the follow up, and pics. what did you use there for anti stab, and the lower shock cross shaft with idlers? is that shock idler set up bdx?

I tri
Ed to order some of those little wheels for my Doo from slydog but they refunded me after a week and a half
the anti-stab is a trimmed down mtntk kit. much beefier, so you can run 1 limit strap. made some little sleeves so bolts wont crush the plastic rail tips. homebrew strap thats not stretched around the shaft too far like stock ice age does.appreciate the follow up, and pics. what did you use there for anti stab, and the lower shock cross shaft with idlers? is that shock idler set up bdx?

yes, you need the bdx kit in your life, lol. just say no to outboard wheels. make sure you get the 2.75 wheels not the 2.5. Not sure the kit fits the newer skid perfect, i removed one steel shim between the shock and the aluminum sleeve so the shock wasnt pinched, i think it needs to be able to rotate. Its been solid all season.
