I posted this because there are too many companies that say one thing and send you something that truly sucks. By no means am I tied to or advertising for anyone. I just thought people should know the quality of work that PRM produces.

This company "Rocks"! They do what they say, when they say and the products are great for the price.

All the skids are heavy duty and fit like a glove. No pushing, pulling or f'n around to get these things to fit, they fit great. This swing arm skid is soo beafy!

Just got my PRM desert grab bar and again, well built. Blows away DG, not even a comparison!

Thumbs up to PRM, too bad more companies aren't like these guys.

Late,
Swytak

I agree 100%.

DG (Dirty Garbage) doesn't hold a candle to PRM (Products for Real Machines).

(Just kidding around with you DG supporters )

Really though, they are built as good, usually better than any skids that I have looked at. The Yamaha GYT-R seems to be built about as good, but at about twice the price.

I have PRM stuff on my Banshee... it will go on the raptor..

Super quality... great welds!!! I haven't had a complaint yet...

If you want it to fit the first time and fit right.. then go with PRM.

Am I correct in assuming that the skid is made of 0.19" 6061 aluminum alloy. I'm trying to decide between the PRM ($90) and the Armadillo skid plate ($65)which I believe is 0.25" 6061 aluminum alloy. Any opinions on which is better. I'm assuming that thicker is better. Any opinions?

I just put the Armadillo skid plate on my Raptor, and it's very thick. I'm sure the PRM is great, but the Armadillo seems fine, and I saved the $30. There are some pop rivets sticking out of the bottom of the Armadillo plate where they attached the chain guide on top, but it looks like they will get worn off soon and be ok.

Good luck,
Lorrin

I have the armadillo s. plate. Very thick and good welds. One thing I don't like is the ground clearance, looks like 6 or 7 inches. I need taller tires!!

Where can I order the Armadillo skid plate for my Raptor? I'm from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and the only thing any one can get here is DG. I'm looking for a good reputable parts company to order from. Rocky Mountain ATV has them for $64.99 but they are out of stock. Does Armadillo have a web site or number I can call. Any help would be appreciated.
