Trail armor a arm skid

[Jhall244]

Trying to install my trail armor skids and am wondering if I either have the wrong skid plates for my an arms or am I just supposed to tighten them till the 1” gap closes? When sitting flush against the front the gap is on the backside towards the tire

Do you have aftermarket A-Arms?

 

[Jhall244]

Nope. All stock. Brand new machine. Both sides are like that

Double check and make sure they are for your year. They just started making them for the 23’s.
On a personal note, if they are for the right year and still dont fit, send them back and forget Arm guards. All they do is collect mud, slime, sticks and other debris. Best to let that $hit flow through the arms.

The instructions noted for a 22 but things can get missmarked. I contemplated on getting a arm skids to begin with for that reason and figure if I trashed them I’d buy new arched lowers

Swapped factory A-Arms for SATV A-Arms all the way around. Due to this change, my nearly brand new Trail Armor A-Arm guards are all sitting underneath a workbench in my garage (they don't fit). Real men don't need A-Arm guards. Even if they did fit, I would not run them based on the exact same reasons @Remington stated above.

For the record, there are some pics of my TA A-Arm guards installed in my build thread here. Not sure if they show the area you're looking for, but you can take a gander. Mine is a '21, though.

He's got a Talon X.

Hard to tell from your picture, but it almost looks like your a-arms are different than the OEM arms with that bend. Probably just the picture though if it's a new unit. Found this picture with them installed on an X:

Maybe a couple more pictures of your setup and we can help.

Mine in my ‘21 XLV.

Seriously? Someone removed that post? ROTF! What's next, gender pronouns required?

So here’s a quick video of how much of a difference there is. This is me holding it up against the “factory” mounting locations that you are instructed to use

 

[K9Paco]

I don’t understand what’s going on. Is your A-arm not flush along the whole bottom?

 

[Jhall244]

No. The back is arched a little bit towards the outside

Did you call Trail Armor?
