You’ll have that on those big jobs.

I need some more of these skid plates nuts and washers. Are they a one size fits all type of deal?

Spring is here! Nice crop.

Glad I'm not the only one.

The only issue is, you can't really grab the stuff out here and scoop it out. Guaranteed there are some Cholla pods in there somewhere.

I believe the bolt/washer (cupped) combo under there is the same for like all but a couple of the fasteners. The other two, or so, use just a plain washer and same size bolt. Don’t know the bolt size other than it is metric.

Our skid plate was mounted upside down from the factory putting the oil drain hole off center with the drain. You might check that while your there.

“This side up” 🤦🏻‍♂️
Quality is job number eleventeen these days it seems.

For sure. Saw that at the first oil change and thought if this is how they put the simple parts on where are we headed with this machine. Prob just a Fri pm skid plate install at factory.

Why bother now, maybe you will get some vegetables out of it.

Side note, most of the skid plates have gashes clear through etc. May need to order some used ones off of ebay or something.

Well it saved me from going oh crap a time or two

I would recommend a full skid plate. It will protect you and your buggy's frame better.

I wouldn't spend money on a OEM replacement. If you really want the same one (not recommended if you ride any kind of trails) I would ask the forum if anyone near you still has a take off you can have for the low low price of free.99 😂😂

I'd send ya mine but even the shipping isn't worth it IMO.

+1 on a full skid plate. I bought a Trail Armor and well pleased.

What the others above have said…don’t waste your money on replacing that!

I have been eyeballing the super atv skid plate. Not sure I am ready to drop $700 to drive around my pasture or on the road though. The gash came when I found a tpost and got almost high centered on it. It has been removed. Im not doing trail riding or anything like that. Burning pasture is as crazy as I get.
