Had a little snow and ice layer in on the mountain tops around home hit everything above 2100 ft elevation. Was a nice 48 mile ride, pretty scenic. Trails are in Royal Blue to north edge of Windrock near Pioneer, TN

Off topic but I got the LE and I thought I heard ppl on here say that the factory skids were not very good. Are you putting on some new ones?

I will eventually, Hondas full aluminum skidplate only covers 50% underneath, each side is still exposed. I will end up going to the FUTV 1/2" UHMW skidplates.

No, didn't change anything just added roof and windshield from my 2016 P1K while it's gettin updated. The LE does fine as is just need to curtail mud and cover the belly.

As much as I dislike aluminum vs UHMW plastic for skids, those do look darn nice, especially attention to detail following corners and edges. Price is right too. Thanks @Tramguage1
They are good. Ive had mine almost a year now and they have held up well. Only issue ive had is the mounting bracket. I got hung on a rock and when i backed up the c shaped bracket bent and let the slider move forward about 2 inches. I plan on putting in some rivnuts to remedy that happening again

I bent the passenger side tube on my first time out! So one of the first mods was these. I was really hard on them at RUSH Springs, but I just removed the driver side and straightens it out and reinstalled. There not perfect buy they don' cost $1000. I have used the belly a lot at Hidden Falls and there is some distortion of the factory plate but to me it' been acceptable .
