FYI: WRP Running Boards Rock!!!

[Sledhead ut]

I installed WRP's wide board kit on two sleds in less than 3 hours. The narrow tapered boards on Polaris sleds has always been a big gripe of mine. With a narrow exit point, snow does nothing but gather and clog. Let alone having enough foot space for my size 12 boot. WRP's boards are full width from front to back and Powder Coated to resist build up.

They also make the drop in's. http://www.gobigparts.com/Mountain-T...ds-by-WRP.html

First pic shows the stock running plate with the new wide frame rail installed so you can see the difference in width. The rest of the pics are after install pics. I also put one of their custom 2" rise seats on my 09 D8 as seen in a couple pics.

Couple questions.
Where do you cut the outside edge to move the stock roll to the new position?
How does the wide running boards vs the stock narrower running boards compare in deep snow?
What I mean is I have had the stock running boards hang me up and keep the tracks from biting deeper, is that going to be much worse with the wider running boards or is it about the same??

Looks very nice but doesn't address the width in the biggest area of complaint for me and that's the foot wells. I know your pain I walk around on 13's so room is a good thing.

I have the better boards and like them for what they are but I think a VE boondocker tunnel is in store for next season.

I installed the regular WRP running boards on my 07, really like them. But, I went the route of F-bombs better boards as far as riviting them on. I did not put any rivits into the side of the tunnel.

You can see a slight score line in the first pic towards the rear. That's where the board is cut to widen.

Not sure about the deep snow question. I know a lot of other manufacturers have a much wider board than Polaris. Jumping side to side in the tree's is tough for me after coming off a Rev chassis. I'm super stoked to try them out.

you'll have to try it out a few times and bring this post back up and let us know how it handles in the deep snow.

Looks gooder. How much $? Keep us posted on the above ^^^^^^

I've got 15's and the even narrower '06 IQ chassis...sucks being a freak

What is the price for the widening kit?

Don't recall cuz I bought a few things all at once.
