when it comes to snow, a ATV will not touch a snowmobile. I have done lots of ice racing with ATVs set up with studded tires, lowering kits, sway bars, and to many engine mods to list, lots of fun. I live 2 hours from a place in Canada that has world record snow levels, like one yr, 24M of snow, or 80 ft. nuts if you ask me!!!

Back on topic.

Not pn a dodge but they are blue

I want to get color matched NFAB side rails and posibly a color matched baja bumper with some lights, so where do I draw the line, maybe leave the mirrors and do the grill blue. i think if i have a blue grill, handles mirrors baja bumper and nerf bars it will be to much.

heres a link to the nerf bars

Heres non color matched on a sweet dodge

Thats like asking what the advantage of an ATV vs. a Motorcycle. They both are deisgned for different types of riding.

A sled is so much more capable than a ATV in the snow. ATV's tear up the trails and are illegal on snowmobile trails in many areas. Sleds are silly fast. Its just something you have to experience. I have yet to have anyone tell me they don't like it. Been riding my entire life...by far my favorite activity! I can''t wait for the season to start...think snow~!

BTW, anyone regret color matching? Thinking of pulling the trigger on it as well.

Second that except you forgot about climbing some insain hill and digging everone out that is a good day in my books.

I painted my door handles cause I hated the plastic contrast against my black paint. I didnt do the mirrors because they dont bother me. I seem to be able to get them cleaner than my handles ever would. To me I would do it again. I did the tail gate also. They were done the same as that mirror paint thread even though I never saw that til today.
