I just ordered it. I was watching one and was debating it and when I went back just now I saw the sale price and hit the buy it now. You could make an offer and see how that goes.

Just watched the video of the install...
I wonder if that front part that curls up with the logo will interfere with my plow mount?
They didn't show a pic of the front when finished.

I am concerned about my big tires and cut frame, oversized tires don't leave a lot of room, so the new plate will need to be trimmed. And since the corners of the front frame rail have been wedge cut we can use that for a bolt down location, at least not on the edge. As it is the P5 has no structure connecting the outer cage tube to the area where I cut off the frame tail at the front, so it will just be flapping until I can make a strut to connect them together and have a place to bolt the skid down too in the middle.

There you go monte...time to get off of that wallet! :)
Ok, OK. Looks like @Hondasxs agrees with you. I deleted it from my other shopping cart and made the purchase here. Should be in around the 6th of August!

I don't think it will interfere with you plow mount Trigger. I have the SSS skids but not a plow but you don't even notice the skid lip unless you look for it.

The skid won't interfere with the big tires because the inner fender well protrudes beyond the skid so if the tires clear the inner fender will they will clear the skid.

Thanks for the heads up. I tried to find a decent picture but had no luck.

Maybe this picture will help showing the front of the skid.

Thought it had a white logo on the front, or did it wear off already?
That is just a decal that comes with the skid. I put mine on the back of someone's Prius. Hope they never have noticed because it's good for grins to anyone that is behind them.

Got a shot of the area behind the front tire where the skid meets the side roll bar and front frame (did you cut your frame?).

It will interfere with my plow set up, so my plow mounting plate makes a protective plate with a lip.

minus 10% off and look up other coupons that are stackable and you will look for 460-480$ with shipping. I had the price even lower than this.

Is this Picture what you need pFive? the skid follows the contour of the frame, tapering in from of the inner wheel well and it comes all the way out to the outer edge of the frame under the door. I did not have to cut anything,takes about an hour to install. Let me know if you need pictures from different angles.

Are you planning on installing SSS skids as well? If so, does it look like it would go under the diamond plate mount that you fabricated to cover the front hole? Btw, my skids shipped yesterday, but to my OK office which I won't be back to for some time. The Yellow Jacket pilot has a nice shop which I'm hoping to take the Red Wasp to for this mod.

Thanks Alan, it looks like I will be cutting some off, my tires would catch on all of that material that is hanging over.
