    Im thinking this a pretty clear indication that im canadian lol

    Its my buddies 2006-7 Artic Cat Firecat f7. The sled is used very heavily, and spends a good amount of time dtich banging in the dirt, muck, and gravel. I want going to spend hours upon hours cleaning it for him, but tidying it up, polishing the aluminum, and paint...It turned out decent

    Tunnel was a pita to do, very hard to get a even finish, and it was pretty beat up from his boots

    I have friend's with 4x4 ATVs, 2wd ATVs, dirt bikes, jetskis, and everything in between. To me, sleds are still the absolute most fun you can have off road. I really wish I had enough play money to pick one up for this winter.

    I don't think I'd be able to keep it THAT clean for more then an hour lol

    I rarely spend any time on GMFS, becasue i rarely spend anytime in my GMFS lol

    Sleds are the best for sure, but a huge money pit lol

    Heres another one i did recently.

    Same deal really...pipe and belt drive polished, never took pics...Buddy bought the sled(a 97') and was in rough shape. all the trialing arms were rusted, hood was very dull, and sled was FILTHY. Quite the turn around...to bad i was to busy to take befores
