P1000 Skid plates

[FloridaPath]

Does anyone know of any skid plates for the 1000-5 that requires no drilling?

Anything that covers 100% will require some kinda drilling/self tapping. The outer bars don't have any pre-drilled holes for skids

I just had a set of Trail Armor skids put on. They cover the sides unlike the factory and are considerably thicker and stronger. It comes with all the hardware needed and has self tapping screws for the side pieces and a few more for the middle part. No "drill" is required but a strong rechargeable impact works great.

I would try the ricochet off-road ones. The only holes that need drilling are a couple small ones on the front bash guard by the winch. They are supposed to utilize the factory mounts and a clamp system to clamp to the frame.

I plan to order a set this summer once I get my machine in. 1000-5 trail on order. Just need to check that the 2022 front a arm guards will fit the same as on 2021 models.

Wait until you shove a rock or a stump through the bottom of the engine or floorboard. You will drill those holes in a heartbeat. I took that OEM bottom cover off and installed a TUSK UHMW Full skid plate. Best move I ever made. I am eventually doing back and installing 6mm Rivet Nuts in place of the Self tapping screws on the side rails.

Better to have to put a couple holes in the frame rather than in your motor, diff or trans because of the POS that is on it. 🤔

I have a spare oil pan that has the crack welded up. Keep that in mind while you run the stock skid plate.

But bashing in its frame is acceptable?

Any real skid plate that is going to be used better be secured by approximately 40 bolts or it won't be on very long. But if it's for show, we'll 2 sided tape might just get it done for a trailer queen.
