My skid plate finally shipped today. I got the full skid from ricochet off road. Colored to match the buggy. Took 3 weeks to do. Got my fingers crossed it will be here to put on this weekend.

Side rock sliders and aluminum belly plates?

I love mine! Lightweight and strong.

They are a must have if you do any rough trailing.

Not cheap. It was cheaper direct from ricochet than amazon.

The Ricochet set is great. HDPE center skins too? I have rung mine off so many rocks it's like a blacksmith beating on his anvil. Sometimes brings me to a stop, never intended but it happens when these things are stingy with the ground clearance. Hardly even shows.
The anodizing colour gets banged off though. That's the way it is.
One of my best investments.

When you slam into something that stops the machine in its tracks. :) There are a couple of' baskets', one on each side that are slung a bit below the general under surface of the skid plate and these can catch on the right shape embedded rock and hit hard.

If only I could figure out how to post pics. I've tried to. Everything goes good, I pick the pics upload it then when I try to post it tells me an error has occurred. I've had people that are iPhone wizzes try to help me with no luck. Any suggestions would be great.

If they are too big they will be rejected. Resize them to 640x480 or smaller.. or use a hosting service like Imgur. You can also email them to me and I'll fix and post them for you. [email protected]
