P1000 Trail Armor

[LJSXS]

Ordered the Trail Armor skids tonight. $802. Got my discount, still pretty expensive but oh well. They have great reviews on here so I jumped in with both feet. Question: Can I do this mod by myself? Any short cuts when the skids show up?
Thanks.

Sure you can...

Oh, and I’d suggest winching the front of the machine up in the air and sitting it on its ass. Unless you have a lift.

It works! Need to use the 2”x2”x1/4” though.

Ahhh! I see what’s going on! Looks like I need to pull out the plasma cutter and go get some angle iron. Does the TA skids go up against the angle or go under it all the way out to the edge? Don’t have my skids here to see them yet.

That's not 2x2x1/4 in the pics?

Yes, it is.. 2-4’ pieces.

You’ll put the angle on first and the skid will stick out past it.

Guys this is a great idea. Thank you.
Looks like I need to get a 8’ stick of 2x2 angle 1/4” thick.

Or two 4’s.. lol

You can buy a 20’ stick cheaper than I gave for the two 4 footers from the hardware store
