Complete front to back underbelly skids
Does anybody make something like this or am I on my own to come up with something. I hate leaving all the mechanicals exposed to get drenched, smacked, or filled with dirt, mud and snow. I cant be the only one who wants one of these.....

I made full skids from PVC plastic sheet I bought at TAp Plastics and drilled and tapped a few mounting holes.Trouble with PVC is it get's brittle in the cold so I'm half heartedly looking for something a little less brittle.I cut the pieces out with scissors and a hobby knife.
Hope this helps

Looks like New Era has a skid that covers almost everything but in 3 pieces.

Maybe this is the best we will get for now.

Lexan is what to use. Im going to the local glass shop tomorrow and see what they may have laying around. I bought some for my monster pirate years ago, and made some skid plates that extended out and in front of the wheels,as sort of a bumper ( broke arms easily till that mod) it worked great, even in very cold weather..no breakage.Im hoping they have thin scrap lying around, stuffs kinda pricey

A while back I posted a pic of a skid that covers all by RACEFACE only sold on ebay. You will have to search for a roll bar then ask him about his skid COVER.; "Rock Slide"
