what do ya think? i added a yellow belly pan, snow flap, and bumper and some shock covers. i think it looks pretty good. I still can't get my camera to take good night shots so i can get my snow force LED's to show on camera. :bash:

ty. some say i have too many stickers, but there is a sponsor or a race behind most of them. the biggest pain was changing the front bumper, had to take apart the entire front end of the sled... not sure if i like the mtn bar yet, have to get in some deep powder and try carving using it... but we have to get some more snow first, and next week is calling for 50's again... not a good winter yet at all

If you want your leds to show up you need to be able to turn your flash off on your camera. You will then need to make sure you use a tripod because you will have a longer exposure time and if you don't use a tripod you will end up with camera shake and it will blur the image. Just a thought if you can't turn off your flash manually try using a piece of black electrical tape to cover your flash and see how it turns out?? Just a few ideas for you to chew on. Let me know what you come up with.

looks good dawg.... i'll get a daytime shot this weekend. going to borrow my buddy's cam too, he has a night setting on his that takes pretty decent shots. hopefully my lights will show up then, if not, i will have to try the other method of covering the flash and altering the exposure time on my cam.

I love the look. I don't think there are too many stickers.

Dawg, yours is looking sweet, too!

firecatsrt, when you purchased your belly pan did it come with installation instructions?? I purchased mine brand new off of ebay and it showed up today but there was no instructions with it??? I was also wondering if there were any rivets that need to be removed and replaced with this installation or is it all bolts?? If you could let me know it would be great!!!! I will post pictures when I get the few things on that I have just purchased.

Thanx Chris

sabrecat6, the bvelly pan is an easy job as long as u dont mind getting under your machine. there are no revits to take out. just screws. i think u have to take the hood off if i remember right. good luck.

Thanx dawg. I do believe that the hood does have to come off. I was just worried about not getting any instructions and everything else that I seem to buy comes with rivets?? So I have some work ahead of me. I hope to get it done this weekend but it will depend on the temp, they are predicting that it is going to be in the single digits with wind chill well into the sub zero temps. I don't know if my heater can get the garage warm enough for me to do it. I will post some pic's when I am finished.

sabrecat, to make it a little easier. get the front end up as far as you can and try and use a electric drill. sled will look awsome when it is done.

saber, yup... all torx head screws and 4 with nuts on them. hood needs to come off, and airbox out. before i started i flipped my sled up on its side and got all the screws underneath, then i dropped it down and the rest came off... put those on with the new one, then flipped it back up to finish up with the bottom screws.

This maybe a little old fashioned but I just don't feel comfortable tipping my sled on its side. I am used to working under cars so I will lift it up and roll under it :crazy: :crazy: Thanx for all of the info guys. I will make sure to post pictures when its done!!! I just might have to pick up some orange ski handles though to finish it off!!!
