Here you go:

Here's one of how the rail extension match up. They fit real good.

The finished product is my wife's sled. Still working on mine (in background).

Looks good now if we just had some snow.

Here they are finished up. The black sled has a mountain/renegade rack on too, just not yet when the pic was taken. ( I posted this thread to show pics for several members who wanted to see what the tracks usa final finish looked like. Enjoy!)

i did the exact same thing to mine earlier. tracksusa provided tunnel, rail extensions, and the track (136 15 1.25 ripsaw) for $574US. i bought 4 stainless bolts and nyloc nuts ($5) from the hardware store. everything else was included. i did have to do a little bit of grinding on the rail extensions to get them to fit perfectly. it went very smooth and id do it again.

Parts? Let's see:

Tracks USA Tunnel extension. Comes with all mounting hardware.
Tracks USA rail extensions. Comes with all mounting hardware.
2 sets of 136" hyfax from doo dealer.
2 sets of renegade tunnel covers
2 renegade/mountain rack/tail lights
Changed top gear from 22 to 21.
2 136x 16 x 1.25 ripsaw tracks. New take offs.

After I sold my stock tracks for $200 each I had a total of about $500 in each sled. Well worth it.

Word of caution though, I didn't stud the tracks yet, and that was a mistake. Because the tracks are longer they will be loose on hard packed trails. Will be studding them shortly.

I am interested in doing the same thing with my 2005 MXZ 500SS Adrenaline and talked to Track USA. They suggested package #3 on their website. I heard the ripsaw doesn't perform that well in powder. Thet suggested their Cobra track. Any comments?

The ripsaw is a compromise track. Best on trail, but if you get off trail it's better than stock, but not a "powder" track. When it comes time to replace the track I may go with a different model.
