Pulled the old girl out of the shed this fall thinking I was just going to do my usual pre season carb cleaning and general inspection. Then I thought that I hadn’t checked the skid for a couple of years so I pulled it and changed all the bearings. Then I thought I should change the driveshaft bearings as well and that lead to doing the same with the chaincase and jack shaft. I also had been collecting parts for a few years to go 136” with it. I figured, what the heck, might as well do the extension. So, I had to find a track. Searched around on the net and found a take-off 136”x 2” at CR Racing in Kelowna for a good price. Well, now I needed 8 tooth drivers to fit the track. Bought a set off TurboTony from the 4 stroke side and had a local guy press them on for me. Then I found a set of SLP rail extensions at my local sled parts store. The inserts fit nice and tight into the original axle slot, so I think they should hold up well. I’m not sure about the black finish though. We will see how it looks after a couple of years. So, I started looking at the tunnel extension I had laying around and realize I need the tunnel braces. ModMMax gave me a set off of and old tunnel of his. Great guy. At this point I put the tunnel extension on and realized I would have to use the 136” coolers I had in order to make the bumper cover work properly. More drilling and riveting! I also didn’t take the time to send the tunnel extension to be powder coated and am regretting it now because it scratches really easy. 
Oh well. I also wanted to try a Tempa Flow out. I ended up buying one from ekimsx600. I changed the jetting back to stock and installed the Tempa Flow. Put the rest of it back together and she fired right up. Now I am just waiting for some more snow to fine tune the Tempa Flow and play with the suspension.
I did a lot of reading on this site and had lots of help from members. Would have been way harder to do this without this place. Thanks guys!
