Yea, I figured you might recognize a few of them..
I would LOVE to make the trip over that direction.. Time and money will tell what and where I can go this season.. If I get the chance though, I will for sure let you know.. I heard you guys have some good riding last year.. Lets hope for even better riding and tons more snow this year!!

I think I would rather watch those, then enter them.. Looks fun, but I think I like riding slow in the trees more than I like going fast in a straight line or up a hill..

I like riding no matter how it is but I like adrenaline too much not to race any progress

Here is some more I got done.. Too busy working on everyone elses **** to get much on mine done.. Thats going to stop.. Snow has hit the ground once already so I am sure riding is too far off..
Anyway, changed the turbo arrangement around.. I just didnt like it the way it sat in there before.. Got the pipe mocked up to where it will bolt and mount and next will be where the exhaust exits the belly pan.. I will post more pictures as things progress again..

Got a little more work done on the sled today.. got the pipe entirely welded up and got the exhaust outlet from the turbo the the belly pan welded up.. Now just need to clean it up so I can post a few pics.. 
I also decided to cut my footboards off in place of IQR airframe style boards. To my knowledge, this is the first time this has been done on an iqr.. If not, not too many out there..
Anyway, hacking the boards all off was a little nerve racking, but once its going there is no turning back.. Cut everything up, now just need to do some clean up and permanently mount these up.. I like them so far though.. The second to last pic is with the traction screws installed. The last pic is what the sled will some what resemble when finished.It will be cleaner though.. Cant wait!!

I have made a few more changes to this setup and am hoping to have it finished soon now that the snow has started to fly here and I have nothing to ride..
I painted the boards black to match most of the sled.. Hope this holds up..
I changed the tunnel extension a little so the tunnel coolers fit better.. It was just kicked up too high..
Started putting my new Zbroz arms on it.. They look awesome!!
Need to just a few more things to the chassis and it will be off the stand and then running very shortly after that.. Cant wait!! More pics to come with more progress..

Ok, a few more updates..
Changed my mind on the EZ Ryde and am going to run a timbersled instead. I just couldnt get the EZ in there right to save my life and was tired of drilling holes in my tunnel.. Was a headache for me and took WAY too much time. I probably could have been done with the whole thing now if I hadnt wasted so much time on the skid.. Not sure why I had such a hard time with it..
The Timbersled that I will be running will have the Fox Floats and I am running stock 09 Dragon rails.. Really wanted the brand new Timbersled setup, but just wasnt in the cards for this season..
Next, I am hoping to have the coolers welded up this weekend..
Going to have my pipe welded up tomorrow so it can finally be bolted up and be done with that part of the build.
Once the skid and turbo is installed, the only things left to do is a few mods to my charge tube and intake, start connecting everything up and hopefully have it running so I can start tuning.. Who knows how much longer this is going to take though.. Not scrambling yet since we dont have any snow to even ride on to tune this thing.
Will post more pics as things are being finished and I am on the home stretch..

2nd that. Once you change all springs for lighter softer and revalve shocks close to Walker's trail specs they are money! I am fairly light about 160 lbs and trail ride and went with a 130lb spring on front and going with 130-140 lb front shock spring and even swap torsions for softer IQ trail torsions. I have all the specs if you want them. Pro x torsions may even work but I don't think shock springs will for shocks not positive. I do like the Fox evol's or x's. Not a fan of these fox really or the Walker air 2.0 shocks either. I would keep mine over those but dump mine for evols for sure. Just my opinion.
What's the thrasher hood? I added a Mountain Fit light weight hood and have had it for years and like it just fine. I added a ton of vents most all custom made by me and also some by Polaris and Mountain fit. I added a lot of foil tape for exhaust etc. I think the people that don't like them have other issues with there build that present a problem that makes hood look bad like excessive heat under hood and not proper venting and hood sags or pipe fitment isnt very good and get close to hood and people talk bad about hood but is not the real issue. My hood is free and clear of all and took my time and has worked just great so I would think you would be just fine etc.
