I like the lift too but with a "conventional" sled lift you can run the sled to check out components, drop skis, suspensions, etc. I've only had a lift for a year or so and can't figure out how I ever got along without one.

Thanks guys for the nice comments she is coming along well. as for the sled lifts Just dont get to restless with those sled lifts ,or the next thing u know, will be a sled on your lap. Just ask Dustin. LOL ! I cant say anything I have done the same thing myself !!! LOL ! They r all great but each has a purpose. Just my opinion I MIGHT BE WRONG !!!!! .PS How about the charity sled What can we do to get this thing done ! We still need a few hard to find parts,kill sw ,dimmer sw, brake block,throtle block, etc. I am going to try to have her done by June.Thanks Guys Brock

Hey guys, would like to see if we can get these last few items donated so we can finish up the assembly the next time we meet. Lets get this thing wrapped up so we can start getting it around to some shows this summer and sell some tickets. A big thanks to all who have donated so far, she is gonna be a sweet lookin sled when finished.

Could you post the part numbers of the parts you still need. I know somebody sitting on a bunch of parts but isn't sure what they fit.
