FYI. I’d give the win to Trail armor for the skid. I’ve installed both and like the trail armor better because they have a metal pice the goes in between tube and skid it give it a nice flat fit. Also gives you an inch or sit to hold body off rocks. Here what I am talking about with my Factory UTV. Just a small detail I like better about the trail armor.

True. Hard to see from my pic, but there’s a good inch of metal between the frame and the skid.

I'm sure you picked this up from a dealer you trust but check the cage bolts.

It's been a thing lately.
Their thing back in '21 must have been teaching their workers how to cross thread bolts and screws. If so, mission accomplished. It's been a long time since I've had a tap and dye set out. They're a solid machine. I'm guessing the '21 was a COVID era machine. I'm sure it will be worth a fortune in 100 years.

Thanks for the info, I'll give them a look over since they are $1700 full set vs. $1995 FUTV w/o X brace.

I like how the FUTV trailing arm guards fully surround the trailing arms on both sides and bottom vs. Trail Armor only covers bottom and outside. The rocks where I live just wait for an open space underneath. See pic comparison...

Yeah they don't even have it together yet, been sitting in warehouse as shipped for past 7 weeks.

Now about the 4 door enclosure like this:

@SuperATV poly tinted cab enclosure (but for 4 doors) - Honda Talon 1000 Cab Enclosure Doors

Do you need a donor machine for fitment? Ill drive that bad boy 5 hrs. to you and drop it off if I could get it back by Christmas

Hint Hint wink, wink

Also you taking notes, the company needs to offer, UHMW rock sliders, A-Arm Guards, & Trailing Arm Guards to go with your skid plates on Talons and Pioneers - Missing out on an addition $400 per unit in sales.

Trail Armor on both of my machines. 💯

Congrats, @JACKAL
I guess since Trail Armor makes you piece meal the A-Arm & Trailing Arm guards in addition to the main Skid, I could just order those items from FUTV as those items offer much better coverage for said items.

I'm sure Trail Armor has learned much in past 9 years, but I played guinea pig Dec 2015 with their P1K skids and pieces kept getting ripped off, still got a side piece missing in Tackett Creek from Oct 2016, wasn't as worried about it as I was the 2 broken axles and burnt clutch pack from that day ;)
