I installed the GYTR diff skid plate and updated the pics on my page so if you want to know what it looks like click my camera.

If you can bend this you could definetly break the diff case let alone the stock rear diff skid plate, I could bend the stock one on my knee. .

Belly pan skid plate is on order will update with the way it looks later next week probably

I have a 2006 (and a 2007) Wolverine and I've not had any issues with the plastic skid plates cracking. Ride on pretty moderate to heavy stuff.

I too was going to upgrade to the GYTR and still will down the road - but the stockers have held up fine for me so far.

HTH


*Edit- the radiator guard is a very good addition. I noticed another poster commented above ^ Well worth the money.

I just got in my new GYTR skid plate, I am going to update a pic of how it looks, and will update one with it installed probably this weekend next week.

I now have all my GYTR skid plates installed and have updated my pic on my bio to show the full set from underneath the wolvy.

Looks nice. I have them on mine as well and I think it's money well spent. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

Looks good now Chris. Mine looked like that a while back to. You really should consider another mounting point for the dif plate, as my earlier reply said, mine was dangling after one ride. I fabbed one from 1/4" aluminum plate to use the M10 bolts on the opposite side of the dif casting. These castings are pretty fragile and damn near impossible to repair. That mounting boss at the rear looks beefy, but in reality it isn't worth a damn as a mounting point for a skid plate that suffers as many hits as these do. Just my 2 cents worth.

So far I am very happy with my skids, the a-arms have been through some rough country, the rear diff has seen a little abuse but the belly pan just got put on yesterday.

I did manage to rip the stock diff plate a little on a rock, but the A-arms have not seen a problem yet. Hopefully the others work as good as they do.


Dave could you make another aluminum bracket to relocate the mounting position for me?
I dont really have any tools to fab up anything like that.

Chris, I could make one for you, however, I'm taking a vacation for a couple weeks. If you can wait a while, I'm sure we could work something out. I'd be happy to help.
