FIXING MY BENT POLARIS KHAOS TUNNEL!!!

[@jerrydelyea5820]

Hi, from Golden bc Hey just to give you a pro tech tip. When straightening aluminum always use heat, it is SUPER important to anneal the aluminum before straightening. I believe the temp to anneal is 230 c check that online or I will get back to you on it. When you anneal aluminum it relaxes the molecules in the aluminum and allows it to be reshaped. Aluminum is a fantastic metal as you may straighten it many times when done correctly. You have sweet skills on the way to bend it. When not annealed with heat the aluminum fractures. I hope this makes your next repair easier and better. (: Jerry remember though when annealing aluminum, it shows no sign that it is hot so burns are easy to come by and you can melt the metal at a much lower temp than steel. Cheers

[@Erated78]

Fantastic repair guys. There is nothing wrong with some battle scars. Great video as always - I love them all ...thank you!

[@Mogachaffe]

You know you've got a warm shop when the oil looks like water inside the reservoir

[@georgefales7964]

Hey LOUIE!!! Glad to see your doing well. We have not got much snow down here in New Hampshire this winter, hope you get more up there. Keep the great videos coming!

[@stevenv5390]

I love how people dont own your sleds louie and tell you how and where to ride them. If you cant afford the sleds or equipment dont go on another man's channel ragging on him for how he treats or uses his equipment.

[@PowerModzOfficial]

Lol, ya on the internet everyone has a conflicting opinion. I'm generally happy to see anyone have fun and love doing what they do. Thanks for watching!

[@Chris6000]

Nice video as allways, cheap/easy fix so you can ride again. I have followed your channel for many years and are getting inspiration for my own channel from yours! Keep up the good work!!!

[@timminstraprs2169]

Next time after ya bugger it up, hit it in reverse to remove the damage. 😂👍✌️

[@reltsihW]

Louis so hardcore, he even takes the warning decals off his oil reservoir

[@PowerModzOfficial]

Life on the edge there Mav.

[@Racer57]

Good as new! I actually bough my Shift 136 a few years ago that had something similar happen. Insurance totaled it out, so I bought it off a guy for $1000. Sled had 2000 miles on it, was essentially new. It runs 100% fine after I changed the a-arms and shocks. The tunnel is still tweaked, but give it character! Its all behind suspension, so it purely cosmetic.

[@randymcleod8670]

Great ingenuity buddy keep sending out awesome videos

[@calebb3703]

When your sled breaks down and your buddy's are trying to ask you about your weekend 13:56

[@780tunertube7]

What kinda tires are on that 300 Honda? They look awesome

[@SolidStateH2O]

Hey a long track doesn’t get stuck on a trail, but a short track is just work for you and all your buddies off of it. We have more fun with a little push in the corners then having to lift and push bumpers all day 😂

[@Aspired329]

That turned out pretty darn good, better than expected for sure! Might be time to add a reinforced bumper on mine?

[@rpittman4778]

Should look for a company that makes some inside tunnel braces as well. Itek Industries makes a very nice bumper that wraps around the top of the tunnel as well.

[@PowerModzOfficial]

Yes I sell them lol

[@tristanburke2451]

All right what should I do about a 97 aggressive XLT 600 triple with flat slide carbs and one of the slides has broken into pieces and falling into the crank one piece about half the size of a dime Maybe

[@tristanburke2451]

The rest is very small stuff that I have already gotten out via of the three drain plugs on the bottom of the engine

[@PowerModzOfficial]

tale ot apart and fix it.

[@squishmaster]

Good job louie nice to see the sleds

[@joshgarner805]

Don't listen to the haters about owning a mountain sled. I get a lot of crap for owning one in Minnesota but I do go out west and to the UP of Michigan. If I'm not riding in one of those 2 places then I ride the trails and ditches at home.

[@swoopit397]

Nicely done!! Great vid as usual 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@tristanburke2451]

My buddy did that with a 2003 F7 he wrote it all the way up until 2019 except it was on both sides she he didn't bother fixing it because he knew he was going to be doing more wheelies

[@BuildAProWorkShop]

What is next step in weight reduction. This series on the titanimal is something I check in weekly to see if anything has been added.

[@mbm460ns9]

will there be any upcoming videos with the bikes this spring ?

[@mikespooner63]

Looks pretty good louie for doing it yourself

[@PowerModzOfficial]

Thanks!

[@coreypruka5501]

It's a 'wherever the heck I wanna ride it' sled. It's yours; you do want you want. If you wanna bugger it up then bugger it up. You paid for it. Contrary to popular believe, these sleds aren't given to you by Polaris. I've said it before and I'll say it again, everyone wishes they had a buddy, brother, crazy uncle, like you Louie!! Looks like PowerModz, Jr. got a promotion from Cameraman to Asst. Shop Foreman!!

[@bryceswan7936]

Having trouble with my belt drive ck3 rev eating belts is there anything you know of to look for or get it to work?

[@PowerModzOfficial]

alignment

[@NiteGambler]

"It definetly moved" as he adds another bend to the plot. ROFL

[@DIRTVENTURE]

You out in bc? Nice I moved from ontario... northern Ontario. Not sure if you remember me at all

[@AkatarawaJapan]

"What's going on--need a hug?" Didn't catch the grunt in reply. Bad mic? LOL.

[@PowerModzOfficial]

lol

[@Mudmowerdiesel]

Awesome channel thank you

[@TheClintyp]

Louis, where in BC you sledding? You wont be disappointed, lots of snow this year. I'm in central BC. McBride is excellent!!!!!

[@PowerModzOfficial]

Pretty sure sicamous

[@lukedobmeier]

Sicamous is super awesome very steep and a huge riding area lots of trees and wide open areas

[@moto4power]

Dont take the comments to seriously people are very stupid these day always someone ready to break your good mood and bring you down to their level of mediocrity... keep up the good work !

[@kilafranz]

Are you selling the seat?

[@anwe88]

My assault tunel is bent downwards. Still dont understand how its even possible to bend that way. Must have wheelied in reverse or something.

[@PowerModzOfficial]

Or your buddy stood on it....ive seen that!

[@SpliffSized]

I think the original length would have limited the damage, there would have been less travel and momentum, kinda like a wheelie bar.

[@PowerModzOfficial]

We'll never know!

[@SpliffSized]

@@PowerModzOfficial but if it was extended might have just folded easier idk, have fun out west I would try to find you in them hills but ran into a tree and blew my knee out ahah

[@nicborutski9679]

Are you buying a new quad this spring as well?

[@PowerModzOfficial]

not sure yet, having fun with the hondas!

[@TheBibliofilus]

@@PowerModzOfficial How's the rear diff and slipjoint on the prop shaft holding up on the Xmr 1000 so far?

[@PowerModzOfficial]

@@TheBibliofilus its gone! Dont have it anymore

[@bamcustoms7327]

GOING FOR A FLIP DID YA BUD? Break out the 2by and sledge hammers boyz... I got the same color hair as you fella, my back hurts just watchin yer tumble! #ROADKILL ??? Naaaaaaaaaa,,, #HILLKILL #STUMPANDUMP #RIPNFLIP Nice to see a guy fixin things, Built not Bought!!!

[@KnownSender1]

Nice 😎💯👍

[@Cambone13]

Dang that was a lot of work. I probably would have left it considering coolant still flowed

[@PowerModzOfficial]

Tested today - video coming.

[@larryw5429]

Its not the problem of having a mountain sled.. IT's a problem having a mountain sled and driving it like your in 10 feet of snow over obstacles when you're only in 2 feet!!

[@PowerModzOfficial]

Ya....well watcha gonna do eh....

[@markbouma1422]

Doesn’t take much to twist those tunnels up a bit that’s for sure

[@PowerModzOfficial]

well.....450 pounds plus my weight lawn darting in at however fast.....it think it did pretty good! Ever see how an airplane is made:)

[@Richard_Frost]

Speaking of skittles where's Keely been?

[@PowerModzOfficial]

Hes working...we all have jobs.

[@Richard_Frost]

@@PowerModzOfficial I figured, just hadn't seen our hippy haired friend in a while lol It's always fun hearing your banter together

[@catman1050]

If ya can't fix it with it with a hammer, get a bigger hammer. If ya still can't fix it, it must be electrical!

[@Brobro449]

Polaris doing Polaris things

[@AdrenalineRushMX]

i dont know shit about sled is it really important to be perfectly straight?

[@PowerModzOfficial]

not behind the rear upper idlers - but if its bent at them or in front its a new tunnel or sled.

[@Dobemandan]

Easy way to take rivots off is with a sharp chisel and a hammer... Clean and super fast!! Try it!

[@PowerModzOfficial]

Yes I do that the odd time - these buggers are slightly recessed - cant get right at the head....was a weird bugger

[@highspeedenthusiast6628]

Scrap that old heap and buy a Ski-Doo for crying out loud!

[@ippielb]

Well the problem was you had the snowflap on. It would've cleared it if you didnt haha jk

[@axelamcoff6162]

Nice done doesent even look like it have been bent!

[@DDescalchuk57]

I’ll ride my axys and it’s 163 where ever the hell I want to too . Didn’t spend all that money to not ride it. What a waste of money that would of been. I live in Alberta so we are close to the mountains but in the 1000 km she has on er now 800 are in 1’ of snow and flat ground lol

[@clarknawrocki9718]

Polaris has the strongest tunnel you must of crashed hard

[@michaelbergstrom5275]

Ironic? Those are the weakest tunnels

[@clarknawrocki9718]

@michaelbergstrom5275 no there not ever rode artic cat

[@raycrazyraysplace4472]

To much talking

[@PowerModzOfficial]

oh well.....

[@ElmerTbone-]

I hate polaris tunnels, such crap.
