How to Check you're SkidPlates the easy way

This is the easy way to check your skidplates :-)

Lucky for me my friend was there to help me out as always. Normally when I get stuck I don't even have to get out of my RZR, but this time I did.

Thanks for being there TXWPD

The way it was laying there was no way two people were going to right it by pushing it over, the photos don't alway show every detail with regards to the terrain.

Who makes the doors on your Rzr? How did the pass side door stand up to the rollover? I haven't seen that style of door yet, looks good.

I think the door is what saved the front plastics.

Re: How to Check you're SkidPlates the easy way

The pics dont do the grade justice. The RZR was past 90 degrees due to the slope of the creek bed and there was about a 2 foot hole on the "top" side. Plus, when it went over the wheels on the ground were pushed up against a vertical rock on the opposite side. Even when we winched it up we had to move it forward on two wheels several feet to get it where it could sit upright.

Hi txmd,
From who did you buy that skidplate? Looks very good, and I sure need one.
