Hey Redwater, your sled looks great. Curt sent my rear skid out last week. Just waiting for Terra Alps to deliver my sled (XP 163"). I have been curious how this skid looks and rides on a XP. Thanks for the info

May just be me but it looks like the rear arm mounting on the rail is a little to far forward, the rear scissor should be vertical or better with no weight on the sled, not an expert, although I do have a Holz on my Tcat, had similar propblems before I realized I needed to drill the rear hole 1.25" behind the stock mounting position on my rails. different set up but definately something to check. If you look at all of the other holz set ups in the picks you will see the difference.
I can't get the sag set right on my holz skid.
it sags 6" and it's only supposed to be 3.5" with me on it.
I mounted it with the pre-drilled templates.
I am about to go pull the whole thing again and check the spring rate.
If anyone has any ideas what else could be wrong please let me know or see link in above post to another thread about it
Timbersled on my edge is pretty sweet, get's up on the snow better and stay's there when climbing/boondocking.
Wow, it's nice to see atleast picture comparisons of all these aftermarket suspensions. I don't know if I could choose between the timbersled, and the holz. If I could afford that nextech setup I wouldn't have to choose, but I can't imagine what a carbon suspension that looks that sweet would cost.
I think for the price and excellent weight saving combined with function (all based on what people here were saying) I would chose the timbersled. It's so simple, yet effective.
And I didn't realise that changing the suspension altogether would help the trenching issue that much. Hmmm, Big Bore, or Timbersled?
I am not the biggest hill climb guru but now I have far more control climbing than the stock skid and climbed up to other stuck guys turned around and helped them with there longer tracked xp's
This is my favorite sled ever with the best ride and balance between on and off trail, the only thing better is if it was paid for!
Hey! I've seen that sled before! Wasn't it setting in a little Polaris dealer off the freeway next to some storage sheds or something along those lines outside of Seattle? I stopped in to get Slednecks for the ride back to MT and I saw it setting in the back, sweet looking sled in person, the black is sick!
Is it just me or does the nextech skid resemble a yamaha skud oops I mean skid. LOL
