That looks great!! really like the red running boards and tunnel sides, you should be able to go a long way with that huge gas tank. I hope your sled works as good as mine with the new update.
thanks trench..not sure I am going to run the tank or not..got it at a great price but man is that thing fugly....as for the update...mines always ripped pretty good..hope it continues too....
Nice!
Looks nice Mike, I like the black rails also. Did you put the stock track back on or go with something else? I put the trail tank on my D8 and I like the black much better, but if it gives you that much more mileage ugly might be worth it.

That sled looks awesome now... Way better with the red powder coating.
I'd bet that that Trail Tank with some good graphics would look real good too.
Two thumbs up on the design & install of your tunnel rack, running board & bumper mod.

thanks jim...gotta few things to finish up but its real close...how did you do on yours?
The black tank actually looks pretty good. The clear is nice if your gauge breaks though...
Two questions, does the Camo trench less than stock? Does the drop and roll kit just give better power transfer over stock?

I was trying to be positive about the looks of your sled, and for the most part it looks great but that gas tank is very ugly!!!
doug last year on his 07 D-7(well tuned,ported, clutched ) was neck and neck with tim and I..any of us could get the mark on a good day..doug did this track with curts drop and roll and his sled was in a league of its own..where we(including 09 cats with the pc) would mark out at doug would just keep on going...not even close..and this was over 3-4 weekends..all sorts of different deep powder..the drop and roll helps everywhere, less aproach angle, way more tunnel clearence(mines over 1 and 1/16 in. at tightest point)just allows the sled to go.....
What kind of coin for the D&R kit?
Curt charges 340 for the kit..it is very well made and includes everything ..kit is pretty easy to install..drops both the driveshaft and the jackshaft(5/8 down, 1in. back)
Do you have any pictures of your install?
heres what comes in the kit(all stianless peices)
Whats your estimate as far as hours to install? Who'd you order your Camo through?
tracks usa has cheapest price..but I bought everything from curt...if I would have been doing just the track and drop and roll...a day..its pretty simple(figure a weekend to be safe), if you have ever done any tunnel work it shouldnt be a problem..an air hacksaw works about the best for doing it
Very nice!!!
I really like the home made tunel sides.. super clean work...
Good to have that clearance on the track huh?
The tanks with the wraps are actually decent looking... plus you know how much gas you have with the clear tank at all times...

Does Curt have a website? Air hacksaw. I have a lot of tools but that is one I'd have to add to my list.
I'd like to catch up to you one of these days that you come my way to ride to see how this new XP I got compares and if I want to spend the coin on my D8. I switched the track on the XP and heard it was one of the best mods you could do on the D8 as well. I loved my D8 last year when it was running on two pistons but wished it trenched a little less. This sounds like the ticket.
