Just throwing this out there. Ive had a timbersled mtn tamer on my last 3 sleds. the new Mtn tamer with the quick coupler adjustment knob is amazing. Ive heard alot about the kmod and how well it works. Ive never been around a KMOD and quite frankly id like to. So what im getting at it is there anyone out there that has experience with the KMOD but not the timbersled and wants to give it a shot. Looking at swapping skids with someone for a set amount of time then swapping back. Only thing is it will have to be for a 162 and include rails. My timbersled has Fox Float EVOL R on the rear and Float 2 on the front with Bomber Rails. Im in Ranchester wyoming and would be willing to do the switch on both sleds.
Timbersled KMOD swap

now that is labour intensive research..kudo's to ya..
I don't belive that the K-mod bolts into the same holes as the timbersled does.

It doesn't, alternate holes must be drilled using the supplied template to install the KMOD rear arm in the OEM drop brackets.
Ah didnt realize they wouldnt bolt up in the same location. Well that sucks. I dont really feel like dropping $2500 just to see if the KMOD is better.
Hypothetical question, you found someone willing to do the swap and so on. You send their skid back in the same shape you got it, but yours comes back damaged, such as bent rails, broken parts, blown shocks and so on. What then????
I would never send my KMOD w/Raptors (or Mtn Tamer if I still had one) to anyone to try out.

I did the same thing got rid of the mt tamer and went to kmod! I couldn't be happier.
There would be a written and signed contract of course. And it would have to be some fairly close to do the swap, unless someone was so kind to send me there kmod to just put some miles on and do a comparison
It would be a thousand times easier to just meet up with someone with a kmod and ride it...
Id like to ride a kmod as well but like ive said never seen one on the hill. I also dont think you can get a good idea on riding the sled for a few minutes. Now if you could switch with someone for a weekend and ride them back to back over all kinds of terrain that would be perfect. Dont get me wrong i like the timbersled just curious about the kmod. Ive had a billet m10 as well and so far i like the new timbersled the best. Maybe someday ill run into someone with a kmodNeat idea, but I doubt many people would give up their Kmod. I sure won't!
I have been saving to buy a Timbersled and was planing on buying in the next month.
What does the Kmod do better than the Timbersled?
Thanks in advance.
I would make sure they have tried the new style Timbersled before you get an opinion... I have the older style (2011) Timbersled in my Nytro and was never too impressed... I have heard the new Timbersled is quite a bit better
If your talking like the 16th and 17th im sure ill be up there.
I should tell you cooke has alot better snow but id like to see the kmod.
I have a very naive question regarding the K-Mod- isn't this just basically a Holz suspension with limiter blocks positioned behind the scissor arm, and the latest in shock technology?
