Need some advice on how (and where) to go as far as getting a full set of bash plates and arm covers for my 2003 Grizzly. Also need a new front bumper and would rather not get another stock one. Barely hit a tree (it's fault) and it crushed the bumper and black plastic grill. At least it protected the radiator and I got to finish riding.

 

There are a few manufactures out there for skid plates and I have the Richocet plates installed and they have taken a beating and served me well, they also installed eaisly and the holes for draining the fluids line up perfect. Another one that comes to mind that is good is Aluminum Products and I believe High Lifter has a set in diamond plate also.

Bumpers can be purchased from Warn and Kimpex and then there are a couple of people making customs bumpers for the Grizzly, you will just have to post on a couple of the forums. So far the bumper shield that I placed over my stock bumper has stood up well to pushing and small hits to trees, it is made by Warn and has the same finish as the racks. Don't know what it would do in a hard hit but I think it would give enough so as not to bust the frame yet provide enough protection to protect most of the components behind it. The way I look at it if I hit something hard I want it to give some and I will put another one on once it is bent up pretty good, bumpers are easily replaceable and relatively cheap.
