Chevy & GMC Vans

Well, new to me anyway!

2004 Ski Doo Summit 600 HO. Less than 1,100 miles.









Not digging the color/graphics, but I'll adapt. (Actually, I like the orange OK, but Ski-Doos ought to be yellow. The gaphics suck regardless, but if I want to drop $300, I can get custom ones down the road.)

Nice sled...too bad it a Doo'! You need to get mama to video you climbing a mountain.

Nice toy Matt! I thought of you when we were driving to Stevens Pass over the holidays.
Hope you get some fresh snow soon so you can enjoy it.

Nice Toy !! Looks like endless winter fun.
And its a good Canadian made 'BRP' machine, not an Asian made machine, Nice!

I always say, "It aint the fashion, its the function that counts" !
This is just my opinion, but when your on the sled, blasting thru snow, What difference do graphics make ?
I say if the sled operates properly, Who cares about the graphics, and why spend money on graphics?
I'm sure that cash would be better spent on a backwoods survival kit, an avalance beacon, or something else as long as it is usefull....
Maybe you could spray paint the whole thing Camo colors and buy a rifle too with "Graphics" cash....
Cuz, graphics look awesome next to frozen corpses that they could not find, untill spring thaws the snow.

I agree...nice toy. Maybe that graphics money could be spent on something that's in the barn. Ha Ha

If you've seen my pickup camper, you'll know I'm usually a 'function' over 'fashion' person. My wife calls it my "hillbilly camper" and she's right. (She won't even get in it.) On the other hand, I never worry about someone breaking into it either!

Regarding the gaphics, I've looked at them and could actually do some careful trimming to make them look better. And I'm not really opposed to just removing them completely. But more than likely I'll do nothing.

As for going camo... not sure I want to do this with a snowmobile. I'd hate for Search & Rescue to be lookig for a camo sled. At least the orange doesn't really blend into the woods!

It's not a barn Skip. No farm animals in it! (Heck, my Bronco isn't even allowed to park in it!)

And actually, I did buy some van parts the other day. Since my 4L60E is an earlier one, it doesn't have the removeable bellhousing, and so isn't a direct bolt up to the 5.3L. But with a little research I found the parts needed to make it work and bought 'em. There will be some progress on the van in 2013!

As for snowmobiling, my daughter and I are headed to a Poker Ride on Sunday (weather permitting) for the machine's first trip out. I spent some time going over it today and it appears to be in top-notch condition.

Of course all isn't perfect. I suspected my new snowmobile might not fit under the clamshell cover of my current snowmobile trailer. (I hauled it home in the back of my truck.) I crossed my fingers today and tried it... and it doesn't fit. (It's close though!) This afternoon I removed the cover and will go the rest of the season with an open trailer. Guess I need to upgrade trailers now... (I may also modify the trailer cover this summer... but like I need another project...)

it just occurred to me that a camouflaged snowmobile would be completely white

Hehehe. Good one!
