Default Ice Age Performance Sled

As many of you know I have a chance to represent Ice Age Performance this year. Truly an honor. They have been kind enough to lend me their Pro RMK and given me some free rights to modify it. In the coming weeks I will add updates to this thread with suspension, skid, A-arms, and Turbo. Each mod I will document with photos and ride reports.

The first mod that was done to this sled is a Ice Age Lightweight Chaincase.
I now have about 150 Miles on the chaincase. Running awesome. Lighter weight and stronger.
A couple things to note. The case is designed to replace the stock one. It bolts into the stock position. When i got the sled it was already on, but I needed to put on the billet cover. The black cover that it came with was temporary until i could get the billet cover

Here are some photos of the install:

The next mod i put on the sled was a Timbersled Skid. I also added custom Ice Age rails. I order rails that are extra thick and without the windows cut out so that i have added strength. I dont want rails that bend, and Ice Age rails do not bend.
The Timbersled skid is absolutely amazing. A few quick turns and it goes from boondocking to hill-climber. The control it gives you on climbs is second to none. It gets you up on the snow and gives you the control to steer around obstacles up hill. You do have to back it off to boondocking setting when playing in the trees because the steering is harder when the sled isnt pointed up hill.

First the time lapse install of the skid, and then a few photos...

The pro is a really sweet chassis. It hugs the hill. Ive notice that where the M series would slip the pro bites into the hill. On some steep sidehills i was bracing myself for the slip and the pro bit the hill and cut in... bout put me into some trees

I feel like the motor is way underpowered although that could just be me missing boost. Everything else about the sled i am really happy with!

Just curious... why didn't you get the Anti Stab Kit on your mountain tamer?
