Well I am finally past the point of no return on the long-track project. I found the alignment problem from the tumble in 2003. The front frame wasn't actually tweaked, but rather the connection to the tunnel was altered. Several rivets were coming loose which explained the steering play as well. I picked up a chassis from Gone Blue, and am simply going to swap the tunnel extension and skid mounts to the new chassis. Lot's easier then swapping the tunnel even though I have the old one apart . . .
Here is a few pics right after teardown . . .
Yes, it is the mud season here in SE Michigan.

WOW. Thats alot of parts to get back together. Need some help. LOL Maxdlx
Yah, got a lot of air, and cordless tools. Just got to remember where they all are when I want to use them.
We will ride next year for sure Ryan.
Ya Paul lots of parts, I tag everything as soon as I take it off anymore. If I don't, I can't keep them all straight. I have about 3 sleds torn down right now. And 2 more to go before summer time.
