2019 Arctic Cat M8000

What was your intended objective when you started the build?

More power, more track speed, and still keep it nimble in the tight trees

What motivated you to start your project?

I usually average 40-60 days a winter on top of a mountain somewhere while being based out of Iowa… lol. And finally decided i was just going to go after it and build the sled I wanted

What was the most unique and creative thing you did to the sled?

Mostly the whole thing is based around my riding style, and trying to get the most from it
