Coming out of a deep ditch full of water yesterday and accidentally pinned the throttle , my sled stood up and headed straight off the trail into a tree. :eek:
Found out in a hurry the trailing arms and radius rods are no match for a maple tree ! #$%&*
 

Holy crap the exact same thing happened to my friend but he only hit a whole bunch of skinny saplings. I was totally laughing my head off no damage and he started to laugh also.
I got some camara phone pics. Ill try and down load them.
Hope your OK and the sled can be fixed.

Lucky you're ok. You should be able to find all the parts here in TY from people parting out their sleds.
 
Those pics look scary familiar !
Mine was sitting the same exact way , just wrapped around a bigger tree .
I tore it all down this morning , Ill be good to go with another trailing arm and radious rod .
 
trailing arm and radius rods kinda look like this? :dunno: i feel your pain man.
