HPDE skid plate
« on: April 28, 2024, 05:20:53 PM »
Good evening
I saw somewhere someone made their own skid plate out of 1/2 or 3/4" hdpe material.  I can't seem to remember if I saw this here or somewhere else. Any help would  be appreciated.  If I can't manage to fabricate one I'll just buy a set...
Thoughts...
Thanks
Chris

Most make them out of 1/2". Kinda expensive though..shipping that size is an issue unless you have a local supplier. I think for myself if I ever waste the factory skid I will probably just buy one from Iron Baltic or Ricochet.

Thanks NMk... I'll look to see what would be cost efficient. If I were to go Ricochet or IB... plastic or metal?.
I saw you suggested metal in an old thread... I'll figure it out.
Thanks my friend hope all is well.

It's just that some guys...and I have no idea how..cracked or broke their HDPE plates and I always ran the aluminum with no issues...and it took-up less room (1/4-" thick -v- 1/2")....and I believe lighter then the thick HDPE.

Ordered.
Called for a discount code
She gave me this: 45789 for 10% off.
Basically free shipping.
Unsure how long it will be good for just putting it out there.
