Where is the best place to get some ?
LBR will be picking up my skids from Factory UTV next week on his way to March Madness..
Him AND HotRod hopefully will have them installed by the time I get to Parker a week later...lol
So everyone has been recommending 3/8". Is this what you are getting? If not, what and why? Thanks in advance!
1/2" for this machine....3/8" will be great for you in the sand dunes, but after shoving the rock guard into plastics and caved in a horizontal tube half way in Ocotillo Wells on boulders, the paper OEM skids are "well used"....I think she was trying to keep up with me....so put on 1/2" and don't look back was the decision.
Yeah I'm going to go with the 3/8 also, when I was at Factory UTV I was looking at them, and the 3/8 is way better then the stock one, 1/2" would probably be way more than I need.
Are you going to have them install it for you Lance ?
No, will do it myself. I don't farm out anything to anyone unless it is beyond my abilities or requires more specialty tools than I am willing to purchase.
Mike do you know if they are 100% boltup? If so, then I'll wait to install back here at home rather than in the 80° desert sand...lol
Yeah I'm pretty sure you just take off the old ones and bolt on the new ones, I saw a video of some one doing it and they tipped the machine on it's side for easier install, but don't know if I would do that, lol

I can't speak for the can-ams but on the rzr you need to drill out some extra holes in the frame. There are more attachment points than the factory skid plate

Thanx Neil....and I bet your correct with additional hardware attachments...I may wait to get home for the project.
I remember mine being a PITA even on the lift. It did just bolt on to existing holes, but trying to flex it to fit was challenging at times.
The one i had on my 800 S for the most part just used the stock bolts and mounts !!
The old rzr had flat floors. The CanAm's have a more boat sided chassis for clearance, so the skid has to bend upward.
