Hey Zig, are you running skid plates on your kicker?

Nope I have thought about doing somethink like Hagens full skid plate but have never done it. If I'm going to bottom out on something it's usally a slider or the frame. Luckily I have not bashed to much. Now that I have tha anvil up front, I dont have to worry about hitting it

I don't know how I'd get along without skid plates.  I'm always using them to slide over stuff (mud, rocks, logs..)  The paints gone and I have a few good scrapes.

I'd like to get my muffler protected some how.  It's bent up and I hate when it gets caught on something.

I definately would like the advantages of skids but have just never done it. When I get time in the shop I always do something else. I think I will definately want something before Moab

I would consider doing something like a flow master to stop the muffler carnage. I was replacing mine so frequently, the Kenny purchased me a case of cheap stock style mufflers and kept them in the back of his muffler shop for me. I could leave my Kick in his parking lot with a check in the box sunday night and he would have it done by the time I got off work. I knew the exact cost, he knew what to fix and he even had a spare key in the office so I would not have to leave it in the Kick Once I went to a flow master the problem was solved. Sure it's louder, but sounds good, and is made out of THICK steel so you can bounce it off rocks and not worry.

I am building sliders for the pipes and muffler out of angle iron and just some metal.  I smashed the exhaust off a log last time i went wheeling and now i have to build a hole new exhaust.  Its on the list of stuff to do.  thats a long list.  lata stu

If your running a body lift set it up as high as possible inside the frame. After I did my 3" body, I had the exhaust redone and now it sits up (almost as high ad the top of the frame rail) and right against the frame rail to give it more protection.

Later,
