Default Ricochet Armour

I see the ad on here, just wondering if anybody has it yet on an XP? If so how is the fit, weight and coverage?

Thanks....Ray

It gives about an extra 1/2 height on the front outboard cv's compared to the stock plastic protector. There is virtually no protection for the inboard cv's (stock). The ricochets cover the inboard cv's. In the rear there is no protection (stock). The ricochets cover both the inner and outer cv's on the rear. My only concern is will they fill with mud and cut a cv. I assume it would take a lot of mudding before that happened though. I will weigh them and get back with you tomorrow. The fit is good. I am having mine line-x to match the rest of the frame and front.

My home made pliers did get the job too.

Is the line-X a eletrical powder coating for the plates?

The line-x is like rhino lining. It is a rubberized coating that is very chip and scratch resistant typically used in truckbeds. According to the bathroom scales the weight for all 4 a-arm guards is 11.4 pounds. All I have is the a-arm guards hope this helps. They are about 3/16" thick.

I should be able to line-x them for free which is why I chose it over others.
