Yep, I did it again. I just got my sled together last night and I crashed it today again. Luckily I didn't change my belly pan yet or that would be smashed too. I'm really sick of buying parts cuz of stupid f*ck ups. I am the new born loser!  oops! Hit a rock  oops! Hit a rock I hit a rock on the main trail. I was going about 35. I'm fine but as you can see the sled is once again down for the count. 
What's your problem? RUFWM?

Trailing arm + shock shaft? Thats about a 3 beer project (at 1 beer per hour). Piece of cake.

I still wave every time I pass the tree I hit last year. And the snow bank and the other snow bank. LOL
As long as you walk away from any crash, it's still a good day.

This is why I prefer A Arm suspension's, over Trailing Arm's.
I've bent other stuff, but never had a problem with tagging an occasional rock with a ski.
Granted My sled is AWS I, which was way stouter than was absolutely needed!
Prox420 tagged a rock on the Isabella ride last year, and was out for the day, until he fixed it.
I tagged the same rock at the same speed, and just carried on for the rest of the weekend.
I have Nothing against Polaris, they make Great Machinery, but I will Never Own a Trailing Arm Sled.!

Ski, trailing arm, rad arms, tie rod, and the shock. It's not the time spent fixing it's the money better spent on sweet aftermarket parts.

Dude,
I've broken so much crap over the years it's not even funny.
Born loser? Hell no.
2 important parts of this you just have to keep in mind.
1, You aren't hurt.
and 2, was it fun?

I would keep a eye out for dealers going out of business.
Been to a few auctions of Polaris dealers. Bad thing is they would have pallets of parts: sleds, atv, boats.
Some pallet. they would all be mixed together and you would have to buy the whole pallet.
I just wanted spare skies, steering parts, just incase. Didnt know what part # where and I didnt need a pallet of stuff I didnt even know what they where for. Dealers loved it .
Looking back at one auction I should have bid more after learning what some stuff cost.
Things happen that way, things go good for awhile then everything you touch is *** up.
Like I usually say,, "It can get a whole lot worse"
