Widening Running Boards on 01 Summit

[crooklyn]

I did some reading on here and all i see is "switch to an 03 tunnel"

Is there any other option?

I was thinking of contacting www.roxspeedfx.com
The one they have here says MXZ

Any advice would be great and pics of what you have done would be even better.

thanks again all!!

I built some tubular ones, made them run into where the outer edges meet the trailing arm post and back up with a rear kickup. I made mine out of thin wall steel because I could weld it, but they really only weighed about 3 lbs more....but NO snow buildup and I built mine 7" wide all the way to the back...HUGE improvement!

The guy I ride with here in Lillooet, B.C. bought a set of the Rox running boards for his 01 Summit 800. I helped him install them and they went on with ease - great fit. We did it last year - so he's had a full season on them and they still look like new - no bending or warping. The grip is outstanding and width is almost double what he had near the back. They look exactly like the ones you posted the picture of. He also purchased the extension flare - which really widens things out. They are spendy but worth every penny in our opinion.
Hope this helps.......

X2 on the Rox sledtreadz....added them to my '01 and it made a big difference. not only wider but stiffened the boards as mentioned above.

Rox Sledtreadz are pretty good from what I hear. Thought about getting them myself for my Renegade, but I think I might try to build my own in a few months.

Rox makes both an MXZ and Summit version of the sledtreads. They may be out of the Summit version so they are not listed. Something to contact them about.

Thanks for all the input.

Will contact them and put out a WTB add also.

Tx again.

the rox running boards are no longer available. they have been discontinued. they say its because the newer sleds are coming with wider boards, that doesnt help the older sleds that we are still building. if you guys find another alternative let me know, im still looking

Father in-law just got an aluminum welder so we are going to make our own.
