The oxlites work very good. They are a bit heavy though. Look into AP Stik Guards at www.aluminumproducts.com

They have good prices and an excellent product. There Bash Plate is awesome.

I have AP Stik-Gards on my Rancher, the only thing I don't like is the mounting system. All the others I've seen, mount the same way. (with u-bolts) With the exeption of the DG a-arm plates for sport quads. They mount much more cleanly, with no nuts and threads hanging down under the a-arms. I took a die grinder, and cut off the excess threads on the u-bolts after install, but there has to be a better way.

I've gottem on my Foreman. Yea, they are heavy, but if you bend these, you got plenty more troubles than CV's. These dudes are bullet proof, and provide great coverage. They are probably different for a Rancher, but have to be pretty close. I think they are like $80. Money weel spent if you ride ant trees down or ride in heavy rocks. I give them 2 thumbs up.

I have them on my 99 Wolv and I think htey are money well spent also. I looked up the price for the axle and for just half of the axle left or right side was around $300.00 in the Dennis Kirk magazine. I bought my Ox-Lite boot guards from a local dealer and they had to orderthem and they were only $46.00. I cut the long part of the U- bolts off and then smashed the end of the nut with a hammer so they won't come off.

I have them on my 96 Foreman and I would recomend
them to anyone. You won't bend them and if you do you bent the A-Frame.
