Test Fit

Friday i went up to meet Derek at CCV to plan the build. We've ironed out most of the details. And i will bring the van back to CCV in about 2 weeks.

Saturday: Dry fit the sled, still trying to figure out how to make this work. Spray Painted the underside with Rustoleum Stop Rust.

This week i will order up the new wheels, bushwackers, weathertechs and play around with these Qualitex seats i picked up used. They won't bolt right up but i'll see if i can modify them.

Holy toy-hauler, Batman!

How are you dealing with the ice and snow melt inside the van, post fun?

That is one big toy! Guess it wouldn't fit in an RB with a passenger seat?

Passengers ride on the bike seat!

Right now this is my plan. Build a tub out of wood and have it covered in line x, a ramp and a cheap harbor freight winch. Winch the sled up the ramp and into the tub in the van

A trail sled would fit in a rb van most likely. Mine is a mountain sled and much longer so it will not fit.

pretty much finished up the sled stuff today. bought a harbor freight winch to pull the sled up a ramp and into the van. The sled sits in a "tub" to catch any melt off.

New wheels are on order and hopefully dropping off the van next week at CCV

Earlier photos were deleted from photobucket.

Looking good, you going to swing by Franktown?

Cool! I have to say, i've never seen a sled in the back of a van before. People will crack up when they see you at the snowpark, that's awesome.

151" track? How long do you think you could fit in the van?

(i'm a sledder too. '03 polaris 159" 800)

it's a 2010 M8 153. You could probably fit a 162 in there but there would be NO room up front. i am going to give it a try this weekend
