On the fence on a full skid plate...

If you are going to do any crawling - get the full skid - well worth it when needed.

I like the Factory UTV - 3/8" is all you need - unless you are crawling all the time - no need to carry the extra weight of 1/2 for dunes and desert - get the cross brace in the back for added protection as well.

Packard Carbon Fiber wheels and 33" paddle tires for the dunes... (have the tires and wheels will arrive this month)

Which ones did you get and what offsets - I see they have various outer and inner options.

Thx

I had exactly that on the last RZR- top notch quality for sure. Not a rock crawler guy and it adds some weight for sure so just weighing the cost/benefit deal...

Fronts are 5.5" inner / 3" outer
Rear are 5.5" inner / 4.5" outer

This is what they recommended so I went with it.

I like factory UTV also had it on two buggys so far. I do recommend a half inch the reason is because there’s an extra 8th inch of material to countersink the washers and bolts into. With the three eights you will sometimes wind up catching a bolt. With the half-inch I have not had that happen yet. I did modify mine where the toe link connects to the chassis so that it fits better

I drilled a hole where the head of the bolt is and then used a router to cut a groove for the mount at the front of the toe link. Fits much better lays flat.

I have to say this is probably the biggest advantage of the 1/2" skid. The bolts hang down just enough to scrape on rocks with the 3/8", and I have snapped heads off when I had a 3/8" on my XP1K. The material is nearly unbreakable but the 3/8" will flex more if you really bottom out on something hard.
