who's crumbled that rancid plastic skid yet? since i'm low on money, gonna try one of those polyethelene skids. different from the stock plastic.

 

With any riding on rocks....you must upgrade.....mine is intact, but never seen large rocks...only stumps & logs

 

Mine's still holding up quite well actually. I even misjudged the height of a rock in the trail this past weekend and hit it head on smacking right into the front of the belly skid. Didn't break it, just a small gouge type scratch. I ride alot of rocky trails, and the skid hasn't broken yet from sliding over and hitting rocks.

When it finally does break, I'll probably replace it with an aluminum one. But so far, so good. It's tougher than I thought it would be.

 

junk all those plastic skid plates, weather you are on rocks or not i took my stock ones off and traced the pattern onto a sheet of aluminum and cut them out, you can get u-bolts at any hardware to put them on with. when you replace the guards in front of the axels bend them with a brake and cut them to fit.
