New Equipment

[MACMAN]

I would also recommend studding the track. I used cold cutter 5/8. Did about half the studs as most do. It saved my butt on echo when the edges were sketchy and glare ice.

Did you stud the track yourself?  How hard is it to do that?  I've been leaning towards getting the track studded but hadn't decided for sure yet.  But it would probably be a good idea.  I'll discuss it with Travis at Backwater Performance before I pick it up.  They are waiting for a couple of the accessories to arrive.

Yeah, I did it myself. I ordered kold cutters off amazon. Drive bit in a drill, took about 20 minutes and $12. . I did it from the front, while my boy inched it forward. I could get to 2 rows at a time. I didn’t want to do it, but I was cruising up at East canyon and hit a common patch of slick ice and about wiped out. Now I can just blast across spots like that no problem. Like I said, on the edges that get wet, I’m not sure how you’d cross it without studs. I think I still have a half bag I’d give you if I can find them. I’ll look. I did this pattern...
