That sled is a keeper now. It's completely overhauled from top top bottom. Karla's probably will get thousands of my miles of smiles out of it. 👍🏻
I agree Brad. 👍🏼 THe look on my face at the end when I was messing with the odometer and switched it from km to Miles and realized it only has 3,201 miles on it instead of 5100+ miles 😁
I followed your steps and just added the heated visor plug on my 2003 MXZ Rev 800 Blaire Morgan. Thank you for posting this video.
Thanks for watching . I’m glad the video helped with the install.👍🏼 Take Care and Think Snow ❄❄ 🤙🏼
Looks great, just get out the blow dryer and take those warning labels off. Great job!
Thanks Steve, It’s the wifes sled so the warning decals don’t bother me lol. I took them off the T-cat the first day.. 😉 Take Care and think snow❄ 🤙🏼
sled looks really good, enjoyed the series
Hey Timothy, Thanks for watching the videos and I’m glad you enjoyed the series. It’s greatly appreciated. Take Care 👍🏼
The sled looks great bud. Great job on showing us what you did to it. That was quite a project. Should get many miles and smiles on this.
Thanks Jim, It was a really fun project to work on.. At the end of the video after I started up the sled, did you see me looking confused at the odometer?? It was set to km's. I pushed and held the button and it went from km's to miles and the sled actually only has 3201 miles on it.. Not 5,153 miles like advertised when I bought it 😁
great series, thanks for filming it
Hey nuts4steel, thanks for stopping to watch the videos. It's greatly appreciated. Take Care 👍🏼
Great job on the whole series! That is going to be very reliable. You should make a quick clip booting it around the yard when we get snow.
Thanks Paiste, That was the plan but we lost a lot of snow on the lawn yesterday from the sun so she didn’t want to get the sled dirty. 😁 Looking quite promising for this next storm coming. 🤞🏼
That was an awesome series bud! Great job! Sled looks like it just came out of the crate! Karla is going to love it! 👍🏼❄️
Thanks buddy !! It was a fun project. Finding out it has way less miles on it is even better.. 😁
Hope you guys can keep up 😂
@@bunnydoo8426 That’s why I installed her mirrors, When I don’t keep up. 😂
Great Series! That thing mint now! It's going to be a nice sled to run around on. We are hoping to ride Saturday down here in Pennsylvania if this storm comes through for us! Looking forward to more videos, and I am looking forward to making a few of my own!
Thanks Adam, The wife is looking forward to riding it now that it’s finished. If you watched at the end when I was messing with the odometer I was looking at it oddly. It’s because when my wife purchased the sled it was listed as having 5,100+ miles on it but when I was messing with the button it changed over from km’s to miles and it only has 3,102 miles on it. 👍🏼 Yes, I see this storm is suppose to drop some nice snow if it holds true.. 🤞🏼🤞🏼 THINK SNOW and Take Care.
Looks great came out awesome I like those mirrors you put on👍
Thanks buddy. What’d you think of that awesome hat?? 😁
Didn’t notice it the first time around had to go back and look yeah it looks good hope you like it when you need another one just let me know I’ll send you one👍
@@mikeguliz Thanks buddy.. 👍🏼 I’ll definitely let you know when i need another one. I always like to support your channel. Excellent Dirt Bike and Snowmobile content.. Take Care
Thanks that means a lot buddy U2 your content is awesome 🤙
She's ready to ride. That's a good feeling to know you've got a reliable sled to ride. Hope your wife enjoys it. Did you sell the gen 4 ski doo ?
Hey Mark, She’s looking forward to riding that Rev. Yeah.. I sold the 900T. It was too heavy for her to ride so she bought the 550f and I didn’t need 3 sleds.
@@SometimeIsNow Good decision. I think she'll like that sled. I was thinking of the same for my daughters. Something light and fun. I sold the Polaris touring they were riding it was big but they liked it. So I was thinking next year a fan cooled sled for them. Hard to find a good one though.
@@MBTUE I agree, Finding that older, nicer cared for Skidoo 550f is getting harder to find these days. The 550f will make a perfect sled for your kids.👍🏼I am still amazed at how much lighter these fan sleds are compared to the newer liquid cooled sleds. I have a video coming out soon that I weighed a bunch of sleds on my race scales and the ole 550f crushed them all. I weighed the 2005 550f, 2020 Renegade XRS 900T, 2022 Mach Z 900R, 2022 Polaris XCR 850 and my 2022 AC T-cat.. Of course all the 4 strokes are heavy, there's no secret there. 😁 Take Care buddy.
I like mirrors on my sled also. It is just much nicer to keep track of those behind me. Did you ever show how to align the track or did I miss it?
I agree. I always like using the so called "big ugly" mirrors on my sleds also.😁 I typically lead and I like to keep track of the people riding with me. Unfortunately my GoPro has been causing me alot of grief lately and not turning on when I hit the button or turning on and not recording which is very frustrating. So It didn't record the alignment footage or repacking the jack shaft bearing. "Sometimes" the struggle is real.. LOL Take Care and thanks for watching the project to the end. THINK SNOW ❄
@@SometimeIsNow no worries. Cameras are fickle creatures and not dependable. We are finally getting a dump of snow. I hope it blows your way also.
@@justflylow It's about time right !!.. Oh yes..It's on the way. They're forecasting 12'-18" east of the Lake for us.. Might be riding Old Forge NY by the weekend or next week 👍🏼
Will the cable fit to any helmet?
Yes it should. It’s the factory plug. 👍🏼
could you post the part # and where to buy nice video thanks
Hey John, Thanks for stopping by to check out the video. The part# is 861508300. This kit is for the ‘04-‘05 REVS. I didn’t know by the looks of it they’re getting hard to find as everywhere is showing discontinued. What year sled do you have? If you’re looking to install one on a sled you have get back to me and I can give you a phone number to a dealer that should have them. They have parts for all the older Skidoo’s. 👍🏼
@@SometimeIsNow i have an 05 600 mxz 600 sdi i just bought
@@johndowney2516 Hey John, Send me an email and I’ll give you a phone # for the dealer that should have the kit. Yoursometimeisnow@gmail.com
Will the cable fit any heated visor helmet?
@@johndowney2516I just added on to my sled it’s a new part number but easy to get. I can find the number for you if needed
What product did you use on the hood to bring that finish back?
Hey snowclips9, Thanks for stopping by the channel. To be honest, the hood is just that bright and clean. The previous owner always kept the sled under a cover when not being used. I did wax the sled after I was done with turtle wax spray wax just to protect it from he UV's and to bead up the water when it's out in the snow. Take care and THINK SNOW ❄
