2008 Ski-Doo build

I started posting about this on Westcoastsledders.com about a month ago and have been working on my sled most of the summer. Had a wreck at the end of the year last year. I decided to re-build it rather than getting a new sled. My goal on this sled was to make it stronger than stock and run better than stock but stay reliable.

Beginning the tear down.

Tunnel and Rear Suspension up close.

Here is the tunnel assembled.

Thanks for the stand and rivet gun Shane. Thanks for the help from Chester Mountain Sports.

Tunnel assembled to the bulkhead assembly.

Getting the chaincase to line up was a royal BITA! Nose cone and front suspension mounted again.

That's gonna be a sweet sled man!! Can't wait to see the end result.

love that tunnel

maxwellzx · Oct 18, 2009

are the tunnel and bulkhead one peice like on the rev?

Visi · Oct 19, 2009

Best fit felt like the bulkhead needed a little modification, stock bulkhead and tunnel are molded for the heat exchanger to fit above the tunnel.

Last year I cracked my airbox. Chadd at Chester Mountain Sports said to take a look at the airbox to see if there would be anything to do to make more airflow. I split the airbox by drilling out the tabs. In the airbox it was easy to take out the baffles and and cut the plastic out. Reinstalled with silicone and pop rivets.

Stock airbox with baffles

Airbox in half and stripped of baffle and plastic

Airbox back together without the baffles and plastic

XP

That looks great, you are doing an awsume job, I will keep watching your post. It appears to me the XP is the most challanging of all the sleds to build.

Looking cool so far! Those aftermarket tunnels are pretty trick stuff.
