Sunfire

Post by Bulldog »

I was at the big sandy vintage ride in McGregor this weekend and saw a JD Sunfire. What is this? Is it a real sled or someones conversion? It looked alot like a liquifire chassis, but had a yellow seat and hood.

Bulldog,

This sled you are referring to is in fact the "Sunfire." Although not an actual model from JD, Chris Dotzler who advertises his business, (and creates great decals for sleds i may add) Dotzler's Vintage Snowmobile Sales on this site and is a member, JDDECALGUY, created this sled a little while back as a concept prototype to show maybe what direction JD might have gone if they didnt in fact go out of business. Although i dont want to speak for Chris, but i think this was his idea for creating the sled!!! His work is awesome!!! check out his website at http://dotzlerenterprises.com/sled/ and his liquidator concept prototype is pretty awesome too!!!

Chris if i left anything out, please feel free to correct!!! also, ill probably be calling you soon for some more decals for a sprintfire project im working on!

Sorry Mean Green, hope I didn't waste too much of your time with my dumb post. Thanks for the info Brad, that's a really cool project and it was fun to see the progress shots he has posted on the website.
