I purchased mine from utv headquarters for the same price and free shipping . They fit well and very pleased. Great product
Cool. Have you looked at them to see how they are holding up to rocks and the like?

I've only had them on for a few months and so far seem to be holding up pretty good. Provides great protection of the floorboards and lower part of roll cage

And shipping is $100.00, and then you have a bunch of work to do!


Use uhmw for center protection, minimal work to do, using oem plate as template and get these aluminum side and boot guards.

Simple math: aluminum side guards 249$, boot guards - ~ 140$, uhmw plastic 2x5 feet 200$ shipped + work = rounded ~ 600$ - IF YOU PREFER ALUMINUM more then UHMW plastic

Or look at overstock.com for $$$ offroad plate, google coupons for 12% off or more, that will bring their plate to 460$ shipped and buy aluminum products boot guards ~ 140-150 shipped , do some modifications to both of them ( skid plate and boot guards need holes and some grinding off next to plastic brake line cover ( see pic) . Total ~ 600$ ( + 20-40$ depends how good you are with coupons on overstock and negotiation price with other vendors).

BUT PLEASE DONT CALL RICK AT SSS OFFROAD IF YOU FIND HIS PLATE CHEAPER HIS Manufacture advertised price , he will disappoint you.

But you have a full set of indestructible skid plates and the level of satisfaction...
I'm not dissing solrus' skids. They're awesome. You can buy them complete for 545 or make them yourself for a lot of work and about $350.00

These are $249.00 shipped, look good, aren't as good as uhmw true. I'd just like to hear more comments from people who are using them.

It will, but even making holes in aftermarket plate and installation will do the trick for those who has limited time and not handy
