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

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.

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.

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.

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!!
