P1000 Trail Armor

[Manwell]

Received my Trail Armor last week, just got around to the installation yesterday. This is some good stuff, well designed and fit perfectly.

Comparison of OEM and Trail Armor

Most of the way done in this pic

Serious amount of undercarriage protection

I did also install the a-arm plates as can be seen in the last picture of the previous post...

Did not get a good pic of the rear...

Bottom line fact is there is no comparison between the OEM and Trail Armor protection... when placed side by side, it is pretty much a joke.

OEM is very flimsy. Minimal protection for such a large investment.

Met the trail armor forks at Windrock Jamboree They where installing them on site if you purchased at event. You who not believe the pile of rzr oem skids laying there.

Guess I'm just old school in my thinking but I preferred the aluminum one from S&S. Couldn't beat the price either. To each his own.

Yep, its on my list too.

I was the same way. You Gotta try plastic on your next one. You want go back to metal.

It's amazing to me that the OEM protection is so lame... I guess there is money in repairs and aftermarket parts!

Plastic or metal, I would suggest something more that the OEM original equipment. I was really surprised at the difference.

Just wait until you start sliding your ride across rocks and stuff. Just awesome! I believe the trail armor is the most imporant add on you can buy.

Trail Armor, winch, spare tire / fuel rack and jack were on my list of needed before I head for the woods. The winch is just about done (waiting on some electric connectors to finish) and I should get my spare tire and fuel tank rack from Moses on Wednesday. When that's installed I will mount the Hi-Lift jack... Hoping to be somewhere next weekend!

I was surprised too. It won't even support its own weight. Just slumps over. No way I'd trust that sucker for protection.

I hate to be so bold as to ask outright...I am about to order either Trail Armor or FTU. I remember reading somewhere here that forum members getting a 10% discount. What are folks paying for the full setup with A-arm guards?

 

[Manwell]

I wasn't aware of any group or forum discounts, I paid full list price as detailed on their web site. Not inexpensive, but worth the money, at least for me.

 

[nbomar]

I just bought a FUTV setup. Didn't know we got a discount either so I paid full.

Hey I'm always getting screwed, and used to paying full price. Its my curse for something I must have done somewhere along the line. My wife always joke about it. We always say to each other, wait a minute you know who we are, there's no way were going to make out on a deal. Just a fact of life for us tax paying, law abiding slobs that follow the rules, and never get a break.

I look at it like this: If I think it's worth it, I couldn't care less what others paid! So I get 10% group discount, $120 - I spend that on a good bottle of Bourbon or going out for dinner, just not a big deal. Bottom line for me is that my skid plates are installed as I type...

Hey, I want to hang with you, and help you out with that $120.00 bottle of bourbon >

When I asked I assumed that either of these companies would not mind a bit about mentioning offered discounts. Since I bought my Honda so early in the model year, and from a local dealer, I paid full price. But don't get me wrong. I prefer Jameson and I get almost 4 bottles simply by mentioning membership in this forum. One thing I have come to understand here is that if the information is available, it is almost expected that you do your own digging before asking for a handout. I guess that is mostly alright. Anyway, I just ordered a full set with A-arm guards and got the 10% discount. Maybe for the next guy looking to buy.
