WRP Mountain Tuff Running Boards

[christopher]

Even with the new improved running boards on the 2010 MTX SE, I am still having significant problems with snow and ice build up.

A friend of mine who is running a turbo SE has installed the WRP Mountain Tuff Running Boards on his sled and loves them.

I am looking to see if anyone else can back up his positive experiences with their own?

When I look at the WRP website they list the boards for 2007-2009 Nytro MTX, but do not list the 2010, or the SE. Whether or not he modified the boards to fit his 2010 or not, I don't know. Didn't think to ask him the other day when I saw it.

The boards "look" like they should do the trick nicely.

I have the same issue. Neither WRP or Better Boards lists an application for the 2010. I suspect it is because of the tunnel braces being on the inside of the tunnel instead of the outside like the 2008-2009 models.

After some good powder riding, I found most of my issue with snow build up was in the foot wells and after looking at where the tunnel bracing ends, I think I may open up the OEM running boards in the foot well area and maybe fabricate a plate that goes over the top of the running board in that area.

If you find out any more info from the WRP boys, please let us know. I have two buddies riding older Nytros with their boards installed and they do work extremely well.

I have fired off a PM to SnoWest member "Mountain Assault Seats" who is listed as the contact person for Wasatch Recreational Products on their web site.

As soon as he replies back, I will let you know.

the running boards on the se are not as wide as the 08 and 09 mtx nytros are

Got the better boards for the 2010 Se in stock, have the WRP boards on my Apex and they are awsome!!

Because of the difference between the 08-09 and the 2010 with the tunnel reinforcement, I'd like to see some pics of what they are doing on the 2010 for removing any of the "stock material". I have a set of 2010 pre-production Better Boards and they were not going to work without severly compromising the integrity of the tunnel.

I am just trying to be clear on the difference between the 08-09 vs the 2010 with where the tunnel bracing is. There is no "fish bone" on the exterior part of the tunnel on the 2010, the support is on the interior/underneath part of the tunnel.

Make sense? Install pics on a 2010 would probably get out my checkbook right about now

I think part of the difference between the early and late style nytros is the angle of the board in relation to the tunnel. The new style is angled up and I believe that the earlier is more like a 90 degree angle.

I think anyway LOL

Working on getting a set of these.
When they arrive, I will do a full photo shoot of the installation and post a thread here on SnoWest documenting the process.

I have my 09 and 10 side by side in my trailer.
Let me take the heater out there and melt off the snow and ice and I will try to get a side by side photo of the two boards for comparison.

I have written and written and written again to these guys trying to get the set of boards made.

But they have not replied to anything I have sent them in the last 6 weeks or so.?

Gotta b one of the better mods on my Nytro for sure.

 

[christopher]

I wish they would reply back to me.
I was ready to buy them back in January.

Just ordered a set as well, had way to many problems with the snow and ice, had to bring a pry bar in the truck just to break out the ice that builds up in the foot wells and ruined a pair of boots kicking the bottom of the rails trying to break the snow and ice out....

 

[christopher]

I spent months trying to get them to make me up a custom set in Yamaha Blue. I finally gave up. I am going with the new Skinz Tubular boards.

 

[pylon]

the only thing i see on those board i dislike is the front support . it looks like you could get youre foot stuck in there if you need to bail . i left the factory ones on when i did my cr tunnel install and had that problem. im much happier with out them .

 

[christopher]

You could be right on that.
