I don’t remember the hole size but it’s probably 1.5”. After owning our first pioneer, I new where the mud and water collected when washing it so these holes were strategically placed. I didn’t want too many but it needed some bad. You can be carrying 100lbs of mud with out them.

The anodized Ricochet set is easy on the eyes. These are orange, which I think looks nice with the camo body.

I had to trim a few inches off the front of the forward-most plate to make it compatible with my plow mount; oh well, nothing like digging the cut-off wheel into a set of custom skids.

Lmao... yeah that wouldn’t last long for me.
I had an identical set on a 2015 Foreman. After running rocky roads in Colorado for three years, they had a little more character, some scratches and dings, but held up without fail.

Trail Armour since 2016, and I live in stick, branch, and rock infested terrain. Nuff said.

Guys buy them and they don’t ride anything but gravel roads and blacktop anymore. Hence.. LE= Lesser Excursions.
I own an LE and run through mud every chance I get. I dont understand why someone would pay extra for something they wouldn’t use. Don’t have hills or rocky terrain in southeast Georgia. So I don’t know how well it performs in those conditions. Was curious on your thoughts about limited edition ( lesser excursions):D
