My Bud's and sliders took a beating this weekend at Crozet, VA and it kept coming back for more. I was able to make lines that solid axle trucks had trouble with because they would get hung up on a diff or something else. The Bud's just took the beating and let me slide over every obstacle I tried. Sliders help as well to keep you from ruining the pinch weld under the doors. I probably would have flopped at one point if it wasnt for my sliders being propped against a rock.
yesterday i removed my belly budbuilt skid because i hit it so many times and so hard that it started to look like a U and actually started making contact with my cat on the pass side.
so i took it off and it took a LOT of sledging to get it to bend back... its still not perfect, but much improved
