Just flop it over on it's side a and install skids, no problem! Or if you have a hoist, put a strap around the top of the ROPS and tilt it on a 40 degree, fit all panels lose to fit and then, when fitted/ rubber mallet, snug every thing up, easy peasy. 1 hour 45 min. max.
I was planning on using my winch and sitting it on its ass.. think that will work? We've got a lift but don't have the posts anchored to the floor yet.

It took me longer to read the instructions and lay it out on the floor than the install, HA!

I don't have any way to tilt it unless I roll it. Don't really want to do that again! I might try to winch it to a tree in my front yard.

Just installed the trail armor. I did it in my garage just laying underneath it. It wasn't ideal and my body hurts from it. But it is now protected!

Yea, no more metal versus rocks sound, since I installed mine, Ive hit pretty hard, no bent frame rails, just scratches in the skids. GOOD investment!

I'll find out this weekend how well it holds up. Disney, OK has some good rocky stuff!

Yea, that is how I installed mine - drove the front tires up two little tire ramps to give a little more room. I ended up drilling some pilot holes before driving the self taps - it all worked out but I was sore the next day.
