Well, I totaled my 11 Pro at the end of last season after a gap jump/drop to hidden rock.
Insurance was very, very nice to me, and I now have a '12, and bought back the totaled sled.
Since I have 2 other stock Pros, I thought I would "repair" the totaled sled , and alter it into a spring basher. Raptor shocks, a Team tied secondary, and a Camo 2.5 track under it REALLY changed this sled! (stuckfest in the dry and deep, but much more fun to ride on 90% of the days here in central Oregon).
I put about 900 rough miles on it this season, and it is holding up great.
It did however have an amazing Matt-less ride down from a corness, into a dead 10" tree that shattered into many pieces. It (not I) bowed out the tunnel on the right side, in the footwell, just in front of the forward skid mount.
So, I'm into this sled ~$4000, and just can't justify spending the money to replace the tunnel with a stock Polaris replacement (~$2300?? vs. 5 minutes with a 4 pound rubber hammer, 3 PBRs, 2 redneck friends, and a worn out rusty cumalong) That was my 1/2 way to x-mas montage right there.
I have done a Van Amberg bumper kit on an IQR and Turbo Dragon, but the kits mount too far back to fix my bump.
Any other ideas?
Side note, if you crack a bulkhead, a 3/16" hole seems to keep it from further cracking.
Thanks!
