Subscribe and there's a few vids on the willys! Check them out, I'm also building another 1950 willys and I'll be making vids aswell Cheers I appreciate the interest 👍
My buddy bought one new in 1998, we switched sleds and he let me run it down a 18 mile lake. I love to go fast but that sled scared me a bit. It was so much faster than anything I had ever ridden before.
Nice, yah something about 200+hp on the snow is a wonderful thing! I'm just rebuilding the top end as we speak and getting ready to go drag racing,I'll be doing vids on the build and suspension set up
@@carnivoreguy its a nice sled, I may pick one up at some point, it sure put a smile on my face after I got used to riding his and it handled decent on the trails also. I was a die hard Polaris guy but that sled soaked up bumps much better than mine. I tried a Pantera 1000 but it wore me out on the trails unlike the T-cat.
@Real metal restorations Unless you ride sleds, you don't realize how well 200hp runs on a sled. I have my Turbo Alpha set at 7lbs boost and 240hp, geared to do 78mph. It runs soo good.
@@gumballer133 I have been out of sledding for over 10 years, been thinking about buying another sled but where I live lakes are few and far between. I thought about getting a used apex but those older triples..... I know I would be better off with a 600 twin for the trails but those triples just have it all, fuel mileage is good on trails, you have the power when you need it and nothing beats the sound of a triple piped triple with triple carbs.
I had one as well and my grandpa used to call the lead sled lol couple times when I was a kid I got it stuck he's like I'm going to have to call a wrecker 🤣
Go to a little bit smaller lug and stud the track man ur just blowing it off in that snow. Unless ur riding in feet of snow with those sleds a 1-1/4” track with studs will make them hook a lot better. Sick sled tho!
306-FROM THE STIX im guessing your from Saskatchewan? Thats were I'm from originally! Us flat landers can appreciate a short track ditch missle that can exceed 100mph Cheers
@@carnivoreguy I grew up in Sudbury Ontario and we had groomed trails and alot of lakes to fly across. I sure miss sledding I lived I Calgary for 15 years and spent alot of weekends at Quarts Creek.
I have a 1999 thunder cat engine in a 1999 powder special chassis, all aluminum bulk head , CR Racing 151 tunnel with a 2003 mountain cat rear skid, 10 tooth extrovert drivers I was able to put a 151 x16 w x2.5 track under it, triple psi performance pipes welded crank, with a 60 hp nitrous on it Fun sled forsure
Nice,sounds like a pretty custom set up, I'm just about to tear into this sled and make the suspension work better and put rings in it so I can spray it aswell Do you have your build posted anywhere? Love to see it!!
@@carnivoreguy also, I had to send the crank away to get it welded, the 60 hp shot , put my original crank out of phase, there pressed together, so by welding the new crank it can’t do that
Maybe somebody can tell me, why is it that only the Arctic Cat' triples have harmonic balancer shafts and the other two, Skidoo and Polaris do not. Also, aren't they at a cost of horse power and aren't there some racers who have actually deleted them with success ? Is there anyone out th❤❤❤❤ere that can answer my question ?
@@carnivoreguy I recall back in the day when Polaris's first Xtra 10 suspension sleds was delivered many dealers set them up incorrectly, sitting at the top of their travel under their own weight when in fact they were designed to sit 1/3 within their travel. See any desert racing truck at rest. They appear to sit quite low but much of the travel will "drop into" and depressions which allows for a lower center of gravity while still allowing a long travel benefit.
High compression triples sound tough as nails, in that vid i had a small intake boot leak so I'm just rebuilding my top end and doing head work! Gona sound narly New vid coming soon Thanks for watching
Haven't had any center cylinder issues since I monitor my cylinder Temps and usually just close the spark plug gap a touch on cylinder that runs the hottest
You can’t beat the sound of a triple!!! Love it!
Sick sled kinda miss snowmobiling in the 90’a was a different world back then.
That is so much sexier than today's sleds!
I remember when these first came out
@@prairiemountainmanadventur7424 oh yeah they were so badass back then, still are!
@@differentfins they sure were
I agree 💯 percent with that
The sleds cool and all, but that truck!!!
You should do a walk around!

Never seen such a long m10 skid. Hope to see some vids this winter of it
if you turn down the balance shaft /water pump it picks up the throttle response a lot. Feels like a twin with exhaust valve wicked response.

@@davidbrennan5 All depends on what kind of conditions you ride in. 4 stroke Turbos are great for trails. Alittle heavy in the mountains tho
I recently sold off the last of my Arctic Cats. All ranging from 1971 EXT 399 to my ZR Y2K that was still in the Crate.
Nice!
I never see the thundercats for sale out here in South Dakota. Would always love to snatch one up.
I had a thundercat years and years ago. Was so fast but you sure didnt wanna get that thing stuck
Same with the ZRT I had..no thanks
Heavy ? Had xcr 600 triple with 800 kit 151 skid pretty heavy. But snap your neck.
I had one as well and my grandpa used to call the lead sled lol couple times when I was a kid I got it stuck he's like I'm going to have to call a wrecker 🤣
That sled looks so good with skid in it!! 😲🤤🤯
I'd like to know what skid it is... Probably custom made 🤷
Skid from an arctic cat m1000
What an evil machine, love it
What a beautiful sound! 😍
Go to a little bit smaller lug and stud the track man ur just blowing it off in that snow. Unless ur riding in feet of snow with those sleds a 1-1/4” track with studs will make them hook a lot better. Sick sled tho!
Awesome souund. Reminds me of my old 900.
I’m a Polaris guy but that thing’s trick asf
You keep the sled
I’ll take the truck 😂
Man that sled is sick dude!!!
Thanks! Its about to get better,new vid coming soon
Its a beast
The Jeep stole the show
Thanks i like the old willys, I'll be building another one and making vids as I do
Bad ass sled and bad ass truck!!!!!
🤘😎🤘
That sounds scary. I like it!
Nice sled ,, she looks clean

Awesome content. Awesome sled 👍
Awesome !!!👌👍
Do a vid in deep snow!!
I believe I saw this on Facebook marketplace a while ago
I have a 1999 thunder cat engine in a 1999 powder special chassis, all aluminum bulk head , CR Racing 151 tunnel with a 2003 mountain cat rear skid, 10 tooth extrovert drivers I was able to put a 151 x16 w x2.5 track under it, triple psi performance pipes welded crank, with a 60 hp nitrous on it

Do you have your build posted anywhere? Love to see it!!
@@carnivoreguy thanks I don’t have it posted, I will though, I’ve had it for years it rips pretty good, we mostly ride in the mountains
@@carnivoreguy also, I had to send the crank away to get it welded, the 60 hp shot , put my original crank out of phase, there pressed together, so by welding the new crank it can’t do that
@@pizann350 Your Thundercat is sick i watched you go up bonnys bowl and get on the spray years ago!
@@d-railfpv9315 it was a good machine in its day. !!
Just screwing together my 02 t cat.
Would love yours
Tcats rock
love it. beauty sled man..
Thanks man,I'm in the process of getting it ready for sled drags! I'll be doing some vids as I go cheers!
like to see that on some gnarly sod,currently have a 93
Came for the sled, then I saw that Willys! Things badass, was that a diesel I heard?
Ya dirty old diesel 6.9 idi international engine
Sounds somewhat…like my 97 ZRT 800,
Nothing like warming a cold engine up before you go blasting off full throttle out across the field..
Beauty
There is not enough snow for that track and ripping like that will distory it
I have a 93 with M10 stock length. Hooper 1050 trail with Black Magic mono head and modified stock silencer box. Could be for sale.
Nice how does it perform? Should be an easy sale! I have had alot of offers on mine but I enjoy ripn on it to much to sell it
@@carnivoreguy its been a long time but it was awesome. As you know. Love to put that motor in a modern chassis.
Water pump. First thing that kills those engines.
Beautiful
Thankyou
No helmet needed. If it was 1060 cc. Then yes Haaaa
Nice machine.
Maybe somebody can tell me, why is it that only the Arctic Cat' triples have harmonic balancer shafts and the other two, Skidoo and Polaris do not. Also, aren't they at a cost of horse power and aren't there some racers who have actually deleted them with success ?
Is there anyone out th❤❤❤❤ere that can answer my question ?
Good question? Not to familiar with Skidoo and Polaris but my Suzuki with the balancer run nice and true after alot of abuse
Love the sound!!!
I had the zr 600 triple,,,, fast as fuk but ended popping the engine
Nice I also have a zrt 800 im gona feature on the channel,
sounds like it has an air leak? buts it sure seems like a fuken beast!
I think your right! It hadn't run for couple years so gona go threw it but couldn't resist the first good snow fall
@@carnivoreguy for a peppy beast who hasnt ran in a couple of years she sounds amazing!!! great build you got
LOL suspension doesnt move more than 2 inches when u jumped on back...rides a little stiff?
Ya stiff set up and not ideal I'll do a couple videos as I go threw it,
Want to put one of these motors in a street bike chassis.
Ya that be sick,I owned an old 750 kawi triple 2 stroke back in the day and was fast bike, double the power should be double the fun!
@@carnivoreguy Owned bunch kaw 500 trips What would be cool add a timber sled so you could use it all year round
she sounds like an angry ole girl eh? i like it
Thanks man! I'm gona do a vid on me pulling engine apart soon! Found a cracked intake boots and think I touched a piston
Sounds a little lean don't it?
Your correct, that was my first ride before I realized it had a cracked intake which led to me rebuilding the motor after
@@carnivoreguy oh man that sux
Yamaha cat
Got the same sled, not as good of shape tho hahahah
Luv the OG tcats
Lower the preload.
Agreed

That thing sounds gnarly
Why does it sound so bad?
High compression triples sound tough as nails, in that vid i had a small intake boot leak so I'm just rebuilding my top end and doing head work! Gona sound narly
New vid coming soon
Thanks for watching
sounds good but lean or carbs out sync
Your right! Watch later video as I found out I had a cracked intake boot which ended up making it lean and melted a piston
That truck tho
How many center pistons it go through? Blow up every other mailbox
I’ve never taken out a center piston with my 1000, even have a 60 hp
Nitrous on it
Haven't had any center cylinder issues since I monitor my cylinder Temps and usually just close the spark plug gap a touch on cylinder that runs the hottest
Also can get coolant in there from counterbalance shaft if your water pump is leaking
If you're blowing center pistons you prolly got some fuel or electrical issues
