I have the extreme package. Bumbers, rockers and roof. I wouldn't recommend anything less! It's all great stuff.

 

I didn't see any "extreme" sliders; are they just the kick out ones? Only see them and the low pros.

 

Yes they are called low profile I guess. I was told it was part of my extreme bundle. I have hit some rocks and stumps pretty hard. Hard enough for me to get out and look for damage. No damage yet.

Hard as hell to find a picture of them!

 

I managed to put a good size kink in the front of mine on the passenger side while I was in Moab...but, you don't go to Moab and leave unscathed, unless you never unload.

 

That's right. Nothing is indestructible. I wouldn't want anything that sticks out further than it has to. It will become a leverage point on its mounts and bend wouldn't it?

 

I like the tree kickers .

 

You think you dont want the big bars sticking out till you pin your rzr against a tree and sure wish there was some piece of metal on the sides instead of all the rzr weight on the door. Jacked up my factory door that way and then ordered rock sliders with kick out bars from vendetta motor sports. They offer protection for the rocker and a kick out bar for ppl like me who wedge them selves against obstacles. Made more sense to get one that would distribute pressure over the rocker instead of just mounting points like polaris. Would i run it on sand. No. But for the trails i ride the kick out bars made sense. Ive heard of ppl not liking the polaris ones due to the expansion plugs coming loose all the time. I havent been home from work for the past 3 weeks to install the vendetta ones so no comment on mounting. Just wish i had them last time i rode. I did end up with full doors after not being able to shut the factory one. Im happier with full anyways.

 

I do a lot of trail riding on the east coast and the extreme's offer a lot of protection. With the other style the tree or object is all up on your machine the kickers push it away hopefully before it gets close

Only down side is the mounting bolts. Make sure you keep the kickers up tight to the machine and do not over tighten the bolts. Once they are on it is a pain getting them off.

 

I went back and forth on the thin ones or the thick (Kickout?)ones and went with the think ones as they seem to offer a little more protection to the wheels and fenders. I already cracked one when i didn't have them.

I don't notice the difference at all... but would go with the same thing again.... just seems to offer a little more protection...

 

Looks like to me they would bend up if you came down on a rock or stump.

 

I would dare say, it'd probably hang up more than bend up... anyway, probably "6 of one, half dozen of another"... preferences...

 

To answer your question about bending yes they suck!!! Dropped off a creek bank and had to make a quick a turn. Used the kicker cause it was so right and broke off at the weld lol used the setup one ride!!! The hardware held up great but the weld broke off so IMO I would not buy these.

 

I use the Trail Armor Skids with side protection for the toughest trails in moab. I drove the Rocker Nocker in Moab up Pritchett Canyon without any damage because the skid comes around the body and keeps the rocks from damaging your RZR. Look at the pictures from my website under Trail Armor Skidplates www.proutvparts.com

 

I dont think anybody has made any true rock sliders that will hold up to the rocks. I have Vendetta Motorsports rock sliders on my xp4 1000 there nice but will not take that much abuse. Thats why mine are now bent to sh!t

 

Anyone know if the low profile sliders & the tree kick outs can be installed together to have both?

Check out gilberts custom Utv's on Facebook. IMO the best functioning tree kickers out there. They offer full protection to protect ur doors, fenders and tires.

Thanks I checked them ou,t there nice if you have to worry about trees but i cant see them be any good for playing in the sharp rocks around me...Guess i need some custom chrome moly rock sliders to keep the weight down vs. using 3/16-1/4'' plate plus 1 1/2-2'' dom tubing

I've seen some tree kicker bars welded to the polaris polaris sliders. Think they may be some that gilberts custom Utv's made. I'm sure any good fabricator could get u something welded up that would work great if u had the sliders already.
