Thanks for this video, great information!

[@FishingWFrijoles79]

Thank you , and thanks for Watching almost time👍🏼

[@rfphill]

After a few years with this design now, how is it holding up? Any changes you would make?

[@FishingWFrijoles79]

@rfphill I'll be honest, after all the times I've taken it out, I did have to replace both hinges on 1 side. And that was only because my buddy was pulling me with his snowdog and my weight bent the hinges. So in the future if being towed with you in it lower the skis this will prevent any damage. But overall I wouldn't change a thing. Thanks for watching I hope this helps.

I'm interested how the shocks will fair when it's really cold.

[@FishingWFrijoles79]

Well, I've been out in the freezing cold twice so far, and it worked great. No tilting and rode very smoothly. 1st time out, I went uphill, over railroad tracks, and back downhill. I wanted to take a video, but my dang gopro batteries froze up. Going out again this weekend, I'll for sure post a video. Thanks for watching.

@@FishingWFrijoles79 that's good news then.

How many inches the ski moves back from folded to unfolded position?

[@FishingWFrijoles79]

I apologize I'm working out of town right now, I will answer your question this weekend when I get home 👊🏽

[@MrBillbuster]

How is the side to side shake or tilting,

[@FishingWFrijoles79]

Thats a great question, ,and thanks for checking out my video, it's very firm with only riding 8 inches above the ground only one recommendation that I didn't include in the video is to hook up your pull straps directly to the front of the skis and not to the tub and it will work perfectly.

[@MrBillbuster]

Did you put a longer pull rope on it so you get less up angle when pulling?

[@FishingWFrijoles79]

I have the clam harness 8' not to long, not too short, gives a small up lift that may be needed in deeper snow but trust me, it doesn't lift too high.

[@KinzuaOutdoors]

How long is your sled, and what length skis did you use? Thanks

[@FishingWFrijoles79]

Hey Rodney, the tub is 44 inches long, and the skis are 68 inches long, but I did trim the skis down to 60 inches to fit in my jeep.

[@benjiking7564]

What kind are the hinges?

[@FishingWFrijoles79]

There are a few you can choose from but these are the ones I used www.amazon.ca/Mechanism-Hardware-Hydraulic-Furniture-Accessories/dp/B07LDBC4CQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=coffee+table+hinges&qid=1613175578&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&smid=A2S19KAYIQOOLR&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzVjUyVjNaNDhUSjk2JmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMTU3Mjc1RkhaOVVHMFpFT0ZMJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAxMDEwODg2V04wU1dTNVUwRFcmd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ%3D%3D

[@FishingWFrijoles79]

There are a few different brands to pick from some actually come with bolts, but I think it's best to pick your own. Good luck, let me know if you have any other questions. www.amazon.ca/Mechanism-Hardware-Hydraulic-Furniture-Accessories/dp/B07LDBC4CQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=coffee+table+hinges&qid=1613175578&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&smid=A2S19KAYIQOOLR&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzVjUyVjNaNDhUSjk2JmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMTU3Mjc1RkhaOVVHMFpFT0ZMJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAxMDEwODg2V04wU1dTNVUwRFcmd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ%3D%3D
