Thread: UTAH SLED SKIING crew

Glad to see I wasn't alone. I had to replace both sets last week (stumps and rocks = teh suckth). Google sled junk yards for parts; but they are hard to come by. New they are ~$80 each. i.e. $160 per side if you need uppers and lowers. I just paid $230 for all 4 used.

I had a post on Snowest when I busted mine. I got a PM from dodgedart68 - "I have a full set, both sides, of front suspension off of a 2003 Mountain Cat 900. Shocks, A-arms, spindles, bushings, bolts, steering linkage rods, etc. etc......Let me know if you are interested. I was looking at about $500.00 shipped, or make me an offer. Thanks!"

He might be willing to split.

I'd like to get back out and do some exploring now that the snow has settled (hoping the objects are visible now). Not sure if there is enough coverage to get around. Looked at this today (photo is last yr) and it was mostly rock still and its 10,000ft ish, n/ne facing. With the way the storms have been splitting thinking of heading north or south if need be. A friend of mine is supposed to head up Wednesday to give my sled a look to make sure I got all the broken parts off. Pow4Brains that might work I found a front end off a 04, but just shocks and a-arms (250ish). I need: some bushings, 1 shock, 3 or 4 a-arms (one is slightly bent not creased) . I found a 04 Mountain Cat that has everything but a motor 4 (700). Its in Woods Cross, UT. Both clutches are fairly new. Dfinn what do u need? I have access to a sled in the mean time (03/800/144), but it is not mine and uninsured so I gotta watch it.

I think I found a good deal. I found a complete Nytro front end (minus shocks) that had been powder coated black for $300. The stealership wanted that much alone for just the lower A-arm that I bent.

I'd consider taking you up on that offer for the loaner if the snow didn't suck so bad, I'd really hate to F up someone elses sled. I should have mine back sometime next week and hopefully conditions are better by next weekend. That area in the pic above looks interesting for sure.

Count me in. I can play any day of the week. I need to be learned on sleddin' in Utah.

Cutler's in Orem sells A-arms (not OEM 4 65ish a pop). Bumping this up as a base is starting to build. How is Bountiful Canyon looking? Guardsman is filling slowly. Uinta's? Anyone been about in recently? Whats up with Tony Grove (Logan)? Southern UT? These splitting storms have to go somewhere?

The pic has game when it fills in. That was late (April/May/Early June)? Can't remember 4 sure. When I scoped that zone last Monday it was teeming with sharks and boulders. Its not that bad of access from the back (small hike/skin). I'm sure u have ridden by it before its easy to miss. I rode by it for a few yrs right along the base before it clicked.

I was out at Guardsman today. Borderline too deep. You'd jump off your sled and sink in up to your chest.

I'm going out again tomorrow, PM me if anyone's interested.
