I just ordered full set UHMW from SSS offroad for pioneer 500. American made and free shipping right now. Full package with arm guards and built in rocker protection. $849.00.
Trail armor offers a forum discount..

U gonna get the plastic for ur KRX?
I’m going to do a trail armor 1/2” or something along those lines.. I think they offer a little more coverage for the money than the Kawasaki uhmw does.

They are louder but it’s not god awful... you probably hear more noise more often from the (steel) wheel wells/firewall than the skids.

That’s awesome!! Congrats... what color did you get? What accessories?
You have seen the color it came w a roof and half windshield.Ordered the ft bumber .tailgate w storage.some sort of dust thing.The hook things .they had one in stock ,not that great.Probably going to get the flip windshield from sxs w the machinist add on.I was checking out the skid plates.only look like metal in the critical areas.

Yeah.. I’m going to add skids. You had better just go ahead and order fender flares.. but get aftermarket

If u get the tail gate thing let me know.therecan be some pitfalls w the installation
I’m going to be slow on accessories until I see more of them in person. I like the tailgate box but I wish it hinged. I assume aftermarket will blow up with accessories and fix things like that.
