P1000m5 Skid Plates on the 1000-5 LE

[hibbert]

You don't need richochet anything with the FUTV ULTIMATE kit is comes with everything. Running it on my LE over 4000 miles, fits perfectly

I like the Ricochet arm protectors because they also protect the CV Boot where as the FUTV full kit doesn't seem to extend as far out towards the wheel.

I have 3/8" factory utv, no regrets. Installed w.o a lift. I did use jack stands to hold up one end of the skid, while I bolted the other. I prefer the one piece wide mid section of the FUTV skid. But does come in a large box, so the others may be cheaper to ship.
I'm not a fan of drilling a new machine, but I feel alot better now than I did before.

Awesome so I can just slide under and get it done with a little help. Won't be comfortable and for sure I am going to take an OEM centre piece to the face but I heard they aren't that strong anyway

This is my suggestion... should be a little cheaper shipping as they’re smaller pieces. And their warranty if phenomenal!

Ahh I see what you mean, the Fcatory UTV seems like one big piece where as the Trail Armor is multiple piees. I wonder if they would sell the Trail Armor kit withotu the arm protectors I'll ask!

What are your thoughts on the Ricochet Arm/Boot guards? Am I being over paranoid wanting to use those? Neither the Factory UTV or TrailArmor seem to add the same protection.

Hmm which is easier to install-

Factory UTV or TrailArmor? Do either of them require drilling holes in the 1000?

It hasn't been around long. It looks like a really good option though. I'd probably go with it if I was in the market for a new one simply due to the price.
