Trail Armor wants $1170 for skids and A arm guards shipped. Ouch!
Get FUTV for approximately $900. A true 1 piece skid, I have ripped off my trail Armor skids more that once on big rocks being 3 pieces under the main section.

Or maybe less traction causes less issues. I’ll bet not too many bald tires have broken axles
The tread conditions of the tire have far less to do with it than the B.A.C. of the driver, thier experience, and alterations to factory suspension geometry. Seen far more machines worked on until it broke than OEM suspension components.

Annnnd that most of the guys buying the LE’s aren’t taking them the same places we do. But with that said...

Maybe they were so far ahead you couldn't se them from the perspective of laying on your side wheels spinning in the air diff lock engaged.

I'm drunk 24-7 and have never broke an axle. With 30s and a lift.... what say you?

On my rig officially I still haven’t broken an axle. Wife did our last one but we were really stuck. That’s why we toasted our brakes by not putting both the half shaft ends in like supposed too, well my bad but it did work in wolverine and I assumed. NEVER broken one on the trail. Ya I guess alcohol effects half shafts!
