I'll show you my skid plate if you show me yours... ;)

Well.. I've got my spyder apart for some upgrades and I took off the front bumper assembly and got a good look at my skid plate.

My GPS took me down a road one day... started out to be a gravel/dirt road and was passable, but after 1/4 mile it turned very rutted and wasn't spyder friendly. If I did over 10 MPH I'd hear that skid plate and god knows what else bouncing off the ground. I think that was the road that did the most damage to the plate... not that I'm worried about it. It is supposed to look that way after all if it is doing it's job.

I heard you say some people replace the skid plate with a medal one, Not a good idea, The plastic one will take a hit and come back down a medal one will push up and wedge up and possibly do more damage. Let alone trying to remove it if it gets bent out of shape.

Yeah.. I thought of that a bit too. This sell this part for I think $54... Not that I think I need a new one or anything.

Great video!

And a good story to go with it... I think I've been down a road like that in Wisconsin, one of their "Rustic Roads". Only the kind where the road runs out all of the sudden and you have to backtrack 10 miles. Still a great ride though!

Yeah... I compare that road to riding a jet ski.... You know when you turn into some choppy water and you feel the hull smack down again and again into the bottom of the waves? Feels like you are skipping. That road was exactly that.

Skidplates? That's what old road signs are for; right?? (Just don't get caught taking a Stop sign from it mooring!) :shocked:
if the bracketry is stout enough... a metal pan under the belly of the beast might be a nice addition...
I always armored the bellies of my ATVs since all we've got up here is rocks and they saved my bacon more times than I could begin to tell you!

Cool.. I was looking through the parts the other day just to see what the front end stuff costs.

Yeah... You guys did some "trail riding" in the smokies last year if I remember correctly. :shocked:
