What are some good options to improve the grip from the 1M running boards. These things are brutal in deep snow. Was thinking of drilling some more holes in them. Will they handle the holes? Looking to do something on the cheap!

When I had my 1M I tried the hole thing, but you must flair the holes to add strength to the running boards or they will bend. A buddy put a set of Betterboards on, they look much better a do a great job.
Fastlane
I'm not one of those guys to push a brand, mod, etc. but I have the Fastlanes on my sled and dollar for dollar I thinks it's one of the best improvements I've done to my sled.... and trust me I've done a lot.
Yes, they're $150 or somewhere close but well worth the money in my opinion. Hope this helps.

X 2 for FastLane No Sno running boards. Well worth the money and not like a cheese grater on your knees/shins
I'm using SLP boards, made by snow elimniator. They were roughly $125 through my local dealer, work great and the best price out there. They stiffed the gunwhales to which the 1M need.
If your putting them on a cat cutlers are the ONLY way to go. ITs not that the others arnt quality, its that the cutlers FIT so much better.

Thanks for the recommendations. How are these to install? Do you cut out the old ones with a jig saw and rivet in the new boards or what?
Yep, you cut out the hole and rivet the snow eliminators on. I laid them on the boards and traced all the holes with a sharpie. Then I cut out one big hole instead of lots of small holes. The Cutler boards have cutouts for all the rivets on the boards that it covers up. The other brands that I have seen just cover them up so they don't fit down tight on to your boards.
I checked the cutler site and the boards look great. the problem is they only list them for the king cat. Will these fit my moutain cat?
they should fit your mountain cat, i was going to buy a part for my 144 tunnel and i asked the same question and everyone said yes
Yeah, it is the same chassis. They are both 1M chassis.
Fastlane no-Snos!
In the process of installing Fastlane No Snos. Instead of rivets the company uses metal torx head bolts to attach to the running boards. They also come with "studs" or hex head screws to add more traction where you want it.
Got any close up pics?
How did the installation go and how were the torx head bolts? I dont know anyone with a pneumatic rivetting tool so this might be easier for me to get installed!
