All u need is a dynamo joe clutch kit ,some oxygen ,time to take the pink panties off ,lol

Polaris clutch, thing cook-pot muffler, skid plate and hot water tubes routed near the feet. Can't see why any other mods are needed.

... But first have to get the dealer to make me a deal ...

is the etec setup good out the box? is a clutch kit needed or anything else should be done to it to make it run as expected.

I have a 2011 800 etec with a 163 track ,It was ok out of box ,but when finished break in ,i added a dyanamo joe clutch kit i just finished the season with 4100 kms on the original belt ,have sno checked a all black xm 163.going to be a long summer

We dont call them backpackers ,around here they are called LEAF LICKERS ,LOL

Exactly!!

Then some backpacker or skier hears about where you have been and goes to the BC Ministry of the Environment and has the area "restricted" to not allow snowmobile use. The MoE and their back packer friends struggled for years to find various excuses to ban snowmobiling and keep the back-country free of snowmobiles. In 2002 those people came up with the excuse of protecting Mountain Caribou habitat, by banning snowmobiling. The whole excuse was a farce, but today we are left with a few trails and three little mountain areas.

I know you are in Alaska but watch out those same kind of people don't ban the use of snowmobiles in the area of the trail in.
