1993 Polaris XCR 440

What was your intended objective when you started the build?

I wanted to restore it the best I could and make it catchy to the eye once again. And be able to handle off trail riding with our crew.

What motivated you to start your project?

This sled is a gift for my son who turned 12 this October. His golden birthday, so what better gift then a custom sled.

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

It’s not necessarily unique but the suspension that was on the sled was completely busted and literally falling off the sled. So instead of another 121″ suspension I installed a 136″ with a 1.5″ lug track to handle deep snow conditions. With the larger suspension and track and only a 440 engine I clutched and geared the sled to not overload the engine and waste power. To increase airflow I removed the air box and installed filters.

What are you most proud of?

I’m most proud of the smile this sled put on my sons face and him knowing dad put in a special effort just for him.

What do other people say about your sled?

People love the look and they are impressed of the cleanliness of the machine.
