Skid plates and sliders

I'm gonna have to disagree with the Skid-Row skid. The FIRST trail I took it on, I bent it all to hell in the rocks. The laser-cutting for the design in the front makes the bumper very week. It has been nothing but a pita for me. I'm not saying the customer service isn't great. I got the skid from a friend for a good price and it was slightly used. The material is awesome and heavy duty for sure, but it's just not structurally built that well.

If anyone happens to get this skid, I highly recommend gusseting it. If you use it in the rocks like I do you will find out the hard way that this skid will torque and twist on you.

Other than lil-skips gas tank skid.. go Budbuilt or none at all.
 
budbuilt will soon be making one, i think he is in the prototype stages right now... i was just talking with him the other day when i ordered my skids.

Interesting because he has said that he would never make one. Too much of a pain, which is true.

It's too small of a market, thats why I haven't been selling IFS and belly skids nationally. I don't want to take a bite out of an already small pie.
 
Check their website (budbuilt that is) Im pretty sure he offers a piece to connect his belly skid to a skid row front. Keep in mind the skid row front plate is shorter than buds, the skid row combo takes 3 pieces to cover the bottom. Budbuilts is a two piece. Why not just go bud built all the way. Its not any cheaper to get a skid row front

I guess that is what I'm planning on... once I get the moolah for the front one.
I gotta an armorolgy front bumper and winch to invest in next. I decided on the belly skid first since it seemed like I was getting high centered near the transfer case.
