I'm looking for a skid plate. I've heard people comment that the plastic is better then aluminum because it bends back if you bounce off something. I like the superatv one, but I'm turned off by the install comments people made about the stock bolt holes not lining up.

Anyone know of a good skidplate that's also going to be on sale for black friday?

Thanks for the help

Serious question: Is the TA skid plate worth $300 more than the SATV skid plate?

One of the reviews indicated that it installs the same way as the SATV (a bunch of self-tapping screws). Is that correct? Do the ALL mount that way? Is that bad?

I've never had the SATV skid, I have had the Trail Armor since mid 16 and have no complaints and I have slid off and over a lot of stuff. The fasteners I'm not real happy with, there are some better fastening systems that work better.

Does anyone who has or had the SATV skid plate care to comment? Would you do it again? What did or didn't you like about it?

I ordered a skid plate from Super ATV today. They’re 20% off today only! Everything else is 15% off today only.

Keep staring at those arched a arms but not sure if I want to pull the trigger. Wondering if the cost is worth the reward?

Check with Ricochet, I got the full alum set but they also have plastic if that's your thing. No extra holes in the frame, uses only existing mounting locations. They usually have a Black Friday sale, that's when I got mine 2 yrs ago.

For the same coverage area as the SATV (does not include A-Arms), Ricochet has all aluminum 3/16" 5052-H32 Aluminum for $1050 or 3/16" Aluminum with 1/4" UHMW overlay for $1475.
