Some of you have been asking for this, so here it is and if you have any other questions just ask. I am making another one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmDax19SHMM

That’s perfect, thank-you very much!

That’s an impressive amount of wear on those skids.

I need to find some place trhat can cut and thread pipe for me. I think a colleague at work may have put me on to one, I’ll check them out in the next few weeks. Other than that all of that is well within my ability to make.

Tried out a brand new Elite FTS Prowler last night. About 100-125 lbs., $600.
We loaded it up with 70-90 kilos of plates and pushed it on the pavement from either end, alternating.
It’s a Hateful workout and I mean that in a good way.

That it is Linc!

For completeness and to bump this topic, another design for DIY sleds was posted here http://www.crossfitbrandx.com/index.php/forums/viewthread/9786/

Awesome sled.

Point of clarification:

1 1/2” schedule 40 pipe has an outer diameter of ~2”
oly weights have a hole just slightly larger than 2”.

If you ask for 2” pipe it will have an outer diamter of close on 2 1/2” or so.

Metric, across the pond you’re on your own - measure twice, cut, err… Thread once - as they say.

Oh yea this is awesome, Thanks for reviving this thread!

Lincoln, I ended up getting the Econo Prowler from Elite FTS, and love it.

They shaved a lot of the weight off, which makes it cost a lot less, plus it is cheaper to ship.

Another advantage to it, is that it is easier to load up and take to the park or whatever. Plus it can break down if you ever need to. 

I’ve never noticed it to be lacking in any way.

Now that is sweet!

I like it! I really don’t see any advantage of the Elite Prowler over this one.

How long do the foot pads last before they need replacing?

You don’t have time in some of the fat burning furnace used with the diet solution. You could try eat stop eat accompanied by tinnitus miracle having said that wouldn’t accomplish the task. seo link monster is made for link building services with satellite direct is complete with a excellent radio.

Two three months. That’s with the 2x4’s. Next time I replace them I’m using 4x4. Have fun!
