Does anyone know where I can get a 4 x 8 sheet of 3/8 UHMW from ? I'm building a skid plate for the ol buggy
The older I get, the more I seem to say that to myself ...I looked at making my own at one point. It just wasn't worth it.
To each their own! 'Murica! Freedom!For 298.00 dollars for a 4x8 sheet of uhmw , and a 6 pack of some adult beverage vs 700 plus from satv ..... ahh ??????
I dont have to have it shipped . i go pick it up . Drill bits / Time / Sawblades ? I have a ton of it . Round over bits for my router to smooth the edges and stainless washers with grade 8 bolts . Yep Im good to go . Also I have a nice set of prints / Templates for it to . Thank yall for the suggestions and comments .. Couple of calls landed the Uhmw and another rider on here offered the templates . This forum is awesome.
I don't know where you can find UHMW shipped to you for 300 but you still have fasteners, drill bits, saw blades, and time to invest on top of that. I love my @SuperATV. I am certain he could get you a prime day coupon.
If you are trying to be as cheap as you can I would just get a tusk
Don't' bother, @Robobrainiac. His end product will cost 1/3 as much, take 1/3 the time to manufacture and install, and be 3x as superior to anything you could possibly buy with your $700, you low-life beta male ...

WHAT ?? Damn you sound butt hurt because I want to build something for myself and learn something new ? Bro , we all share the same trail , whether you have a 25000 dollar buggy or a 2500 dollar one . Whether you build some accessories yourself or have them made for you . So dont put words in my mouth and put people down . Just wanting to learn my ol buggy and work on it myself .Don't' bother, @Robobrainiac.

Once again thanks for the help , its a great day to be alive
God bless and ride em safe !
If I would've had a supplier cheap/close enough to me I would've done the same with UHMW. Instead I did mine out of 1/4" aluminum and been happy with it so far. $210 all in plus my time in the garage which I would've spent regardless on something or other......I like working on my own shît.WHAT ??

Glad you got a piece found. I picked up a sheet a couple of years ago, but just haven't got around to doing it. With the CAD files on the forum I figured it was worth my time to save a few bucks. It looks like the sheet I got has gone up quite abit but it still should be satisfying to do it myself when I get around to it.I dont have to have it shipped . i go pick it up .

Advice: Try the decaf ...
SWEET Great work brother . and the cost ........... even better .If I would've had a supplier cheap/close enough to me I would've done the same with UHMW. Instead I did mine out of 1/4" aluminum and been happy with it so far. $210 all in plus my time in the garage which I would've spent regardless on something or other......I like working on my own shît.
Tip: if you get a 5X10 sheet you can cover/protect 100% of the buggy.
