Really happy with how these mounted up. 3 bolts across the top and 3 drain holes in bottom one near each end and one under the flared section of shock mount.

Really impressed with how the Trail Armor skids are mounting up. About 75% done, only 10 holes to drill for nutserts, very happy about that. Had to stop for rock guards, those 5mm oem hex screws were inserted with a 1" drive impact hammer and used green sleeve retainer loctite, jeezus. Gotta get a 5mm impact driver bit to remove them bastards 😤

You may need to incorporate the use of a heat gun. Head of the bolt with care. If you want to install something permanently, use the green stuff. Good luck

You might get lucky on that!! Not sure if there were any door/cage changes that would effect the fitment.....but it looks like we're going to have the upper poly doors ready SOOOOOON!!! Like.....maybe even next week?!?!

BFG MUD TERRAIN T/A KM3 UTV tires in 30X10X15 as I understand the 32's rub some. Will probably wait until next spring for those unless I cut a sidewall on these OEM tires before wearing them out.
Carry a spare and watch material between the tire and wheel. I've had slow leaks leading to tire failure from this over time. Only one puncture right front. Debris in the bead always on the rears on OEM wheels / tires.

Been running these for 7 months on the Pioneer 1000 for 2K miles no issue with them at all.

So today I spent 12 hrs on and off going over the Talon. Got my 5mm impact hex driver and got 11 of 14 button head bolts out no issue, had to drill out the last 3 and finished the Trail Armor skids rock sliders.

Installed my 10-80 Dirt Sports pre filter and seat riser rails.

Put the CA TECH high clearance radius rod set installed along with the Honda trailing arm mud guards, not sure how long they will last in the rocks, appears to be low hanging fruit, ripe for the picking.

Read where a lot of water gets splashed into the drivers foot well from the 4" tall x 2" wide hole for the brake pedal spring and brake light sensor wire. Used some rubber materials from @trigger make a flap that lays over and around the spring tightly. Should stop 95% of the water.

My stuff from the @Hondasxs club store came in so I could run my key on power, stinger, and fuse box for accessories. That CA TECH battery tray is no joke, will fit a huge battery.

Made a non conductive plate from OEM skid material to mount stinger and fuse box to, then cut a piece of triggershield material to fit between the plate and battery top. Wired up a few items to test.

This is by far the most under rated and most efficient way to set up a fuse box, with stinger relay, and rocker switch Pre-Wired by @Hondasxs to run key-on power, over ride power on with key off, or completely disconnect everything from your battery with the simple selection of the 3 position rocker switch.
