Jet Sled Customization

I put pipe insulation around the area where I'm going to grab it. It's flexible and cushions your grip.

I put a pool noodle on the rope work great around the waist  or shoulder

Instead of PVC or a hard handle you can slide a piece of garden hose over the rope to make it easier on your hands

I used clear plastic tubing.

I'm actually using large plastic mixing tubs...-$15.00 at Home Depot and Lowes. 

I'll get a larger sled to carry my popup blind etc

Buddy of mine had done this to his jet sled and it made dragging a bunch of gear much easier. Finally got around to doing it to mine. 
 

I always hated how short the pull rope was on mine as I would constantly run over my heal as I was dragging it. The rope also dug into my hand making it uncomfortable/awkward while pulling a bunch of gear. Now the rope is much longer and the bar makes for a much more comfortable way of pulling the sled. 
 

I left the original rope in place in case the rope and/or bar breaks. 

What model is that?

Measurements if possible

Consider getting the Kodiak model of whichever jetsled you buy.  Thicker plastic.

That is a much bigger sled. I believe someone on here has both and posted pictures of them side by side. The regular sled fits perfectly in the bed of a pickup truck

Not sure but think the Kodiak model means thicker plastic &  comes in different sizes.  Mine fits easily In my taco longbed.

You're correct. It is a heavy duty version of the regular Jet Sled. I was confusing it with the Magnum which is bigger

Remember, a larger/wider

 sled means harder to maneuver in thick areas. In open woods and fields it can be of benefit.

I recently bought & havent dragged one out with my sled yet.  is it really that much easier to make it worth the extra round trip back to the truck?

I got a feeling I'm not gonna use it when I finally get one.

Absolutely, when you go back to get it you can leave what you dont need and take off a layer. Get the wear bars. Slicker than snot over dry land

I ordered  the wear bars when I ordered the sled.  They are installed & ready for the first victim...

[Bucndoe]

This is what the wear bars look like. You can turn them over when the one side wears to get more life out of the bars and your sled

I installed a hitch ring to the front of mine which enables me to hook my safety harness to my sled to pull it
