Ah, you're right, didn't realize that was different between the SP and other models.

I’m hard on everything and the CFR rack is bomber. When I have broken shit, they got me replacement parts, often free of charge, really fast. They definitely won me over as a customer for life.

Did you post his number at one point? I recall calling him but can't find the number anywhere now. Trying to find out when Knucks Risers will be back in stock - website shows them as all in stock until you try to add one to the cart then it updates to show they're all sold out.
Edit: Disregard. Found it.Last edited by shafty85; 08-26-2021 at 11:37 PM.

I know not a lot about sleds. Just bought a property in WA that will be accessed in the winter by about 6 miles of forest service road that is groomed for sleds.
Any recommendations for where to start learning what I need and what I want to look for?
Will about $4,500 get me something legit?

$4500 will absolutely get you a sled worth owning.
WA mags will provide the best advice as they know the local terrain and conditions. If your goal is only to get back and forth to your property, and the road is reliably groomed, a utility sled is probably the way to go. If you want to venture off the groomers, a mountain sled is the way to go. Pick a brand and be a dick about it, or buy what your friends have or what the local shop sells.

I'm figuring mountain sled to give me some flexibility, might take it out and about a bit.
I guess where I'm starting to get lost is it looks like there's such a range of available sleds in my price range. There looks to be everything from like 2003-2014. Then what features I should be looking for or staying away from.

If the ad doesn't say, and if it still has the original stickers on it, there will be one on the side of the tunnel near the back that says Rev XM and a sticker on the hood that says etec. I suppose someone could fake this but doubt that's common. Most (all?) 2013-2015s should be XM chassis and etec engines.
Only thing I know about RMKs is that nobody I know rides one.

Late model Ski-Doos are easier for a beginner to ride and they have a longer expected engine life (by at least a third) than Polaris. Polaris is the expert sled, 50 pounds lighter and more purpose built for the gnar. I'd recommend looking for a lower milage Doo for your first sled. It's also important to note that all mountain sleds are made for a single rider in softer snow conditions. They don't do that great when putting around on refrozen roads (they'll overheat) or hauling big loads. But they will work way better in fresh snow conditions and are way more fun to play around on. Blewett has the best beginner sledding terrain in WA IMO.

How is this not called the "Sled Head Thread" ??!!
Nice to see it popping to the top again - must mean winter's on it's way.
