I'm not an expert on this by any means, but I do believe that under the USA Patriot Act, that certain kinds of producteds dop require additional identificaiton information for shipments, especially international shipments. But the point stands about being careful about sharing critical information. It does look like the Hebco skid is a better design. The Amordilla thing looks just like a long piece of poly that one bends to fit? I have no idea how they would handle over time and abuse.

We were discussing on the trail that the problem with alumimum skids is that they tend to stick to rocks and snow. Whereas, polycarbonate or lexan skids slip over rocks, snow and mud more easilly. Some ATVs simply do not come with enough undercarriage protection. Your tank of a mahine looks to have good protection, so not much of an issue for the Artic Cat.

My 250 Arctic Cat only came with a front half plate with the underside of the engine and tranny exposed. I quickly invested in the back half plate for full protection. I noticed that it slid over things a whole lot better than before. So along with a lot of other things the full plate was a consideration on the Arctic Cat 400. It came with a full length plate. That plastic stuff sure slides easier over anything than any metal plate I've ever seen.

And how much of the Boogus Patriot Act violates exsisting law or more importantly the Constitution? All the thing does is inconvience the American public to make then think they are safer. No part of the Patriots Act will ever stop a terrorist for doing what he wants. No one has the ***** to say the Act is crap , well I do but then I paid for that right with almost 9 years of my life.

Alright now, don't get me started. Next thing you know I'll want to overthrow the government. Oh wait, isn't a Constitutionally protected act?

Call the motel in Moses, they'll know.

Did you soap them?
yep, my problem was that i dont have tire spoons i just have screwdrivers which tear up the bead. so i took them back to big O in lynnwood and for $22 they took the old ones off and put the new ones on with no tears in the beads on either. so im all set for tahuya [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]
