Pelican Snow Trek Ram-X Runners

This runner worked perfectly for a sled of ours that needed the runners to be replaced after lots of use in the winter months. They went on easily and work just as well as the originals.

Fit perfectly could easily be used on almost any sled.

These runners are actually made by Pelican and offer a perfect fit for our Trek 60.The install is quite straight forward with only 3 small measurements (for a starter hole on each of the runners), a screwdriver and two drill sizes required - 3/32" for said starter holes in the runners and 3/16" for main holes in the sled in pre-defined locations. That said, these runners aren't easy to curve around the sled at room temperature. I used a heat gun on the "low" 750W setting to heat each runner at the front of the sled where it needs to curve and it REALLY helped. I was able to hold the heat gun just a few inches away (moving it back and forth) without any problems. You should also be able to use a decent hair dryer on the hottest setting if you don't have a heat gun although it may not be as effective.Once installed, these runners make the sled REALLY easy to pull on compacted snow and ice. Tracking is also improved in these conditions. They also do well over short paved sections (e.g. crossing a road) and protect the sled from premature demise. They don't take away or add anything in deep snow.

First of all, I think these runners are absolutely necessary if you plan to tow the sled behind a snowmobile/ATV (eg: ice fishing), or if you plan to go over snow that contains some sand/gravel. I think, without runners, the sled would wear through under those conditions (that was my friends experience).I fully agree with the review that says attachment is poor. I tried to put a bend in the runners, as suggested in the instructions, but had limited success. I did not try heat, as was suggested in another review. I had problems getting the screws to hold the material on the one screw per runner that was at the end of the curved portion (the forward most screw). For 2 of 3 runners the screw wouldn't hold during installation. I fully expect the one screw that did hold to release when I hit a bump when taking my ice fishing equipment out on the lake. For that reason I'm replacing the front screw on each runner with a SS machine screw and lock nut. I've picked a screw that has a very low-profile rounded head (I think it's called Truss-head).

I wore some pretty big holes in the bottom of my sled hauling firewood over the years. While checking out the prices of a new sled I found these runners. Looked like exactly what I needed so I ordered them. They work perfectly. My sled slides over the ground better than when it was new. They were fairly easy to attach with the right tools and drill bits. I duct taped the runners in place before I started drilling and was finished in under an hour. I highly recommend these!
