• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Bumpskid

Probably SHOULD come from the Factory with it.

It sounds like they really should. I also have one coming in the mail. I got the standard plain jane one, couldn't afford the pretty one with the lights. They do look nice. Can't wait to get it put on. Also getting ready to put on my kott grilles with the magnets. Finally went down and got the magnets. Just have to decide whether to use small screws to attach the magnets or glue.

Looks pretty cool and it is plug and play.

Darn! Now you got me thinking farkles again. Thanks a lot Joe. :roflblack::roflblack:
 
Well...........I succumbed to all the pretty pictures and comments. I have a bumpskid on the way. Going to have a friendly talk with the dealer about installing for me, as I don't want to be drilling or trying to find a way to get "under" my :spyder2:.

I complained yesterday that I was doing some shopping for farkles I did not "realy need," and look what happened? :yikes: Thanks ya all. :yes:

Ramp Height

I bought a plain old set from HF and there was just enough room to drill the holes to anchor the rearward edge of the bump skid. I used my plain old cord powered drill and standard bit. Just be careful you don't puncture a radiator hose.

Yes Spyderpops is fast. I ordered mine on the 22d arrived today (26th), still waiting to hear something about the Baja Ron Sway Bar being shipped though.

UPDATE: Just learned the swaybar arrived on the 26th as well; not sure why the postman waited until today (28) to give me the key to the parcel box so I could retrieve it.

We took great care to make sure the hoses are not in line with the guide holes. Unless you have one of those real long drill bits.
 
Spyderpops bumpskid with LEDs

How do the lights connect to the RT on the SPY-147L? Didn't see anything on the installation instructions

Its at the PO. I pick mine up today.

Also wondering about the plug and play feature of the lights. Did not see the info on the assembly directions on line.

Bumpskid vs Maintenance

I am sure that this question has already been asked and answered a few times already so please bear with me as I ask it again... I have a 2014 RT Limited and am wondering... Does the bumpskid interfear with standard maintenance and service (oil changes, etc.)? Does it have to be removed prior to having routine maintenance done. I ask only because my local dealer does not install aftermarket accessories and I am worried that they will not service my Spyder if they have to figure out a way to remove it, they will break the tupperaware when trying to get it off, or they will charge me a heck of a lot more for service hours if they have to remove it and reattach it.

I believe I read somewhere that it mounts to the underside of the frunk and it doesnt affect the cooling of the engine but I dont recall anything about affecting maintenance or service. Any input would be appreciated.
 
Bump skid

Just ordered a bumpskid from one of our sponsors for my pretty new Spyder RT. Was recommended highly that I add one of those first thing. Am new at this but will get there. :pray:

Sir:
From where did you order your lighted bump skid?
Thank you,
Michael

Its plug n play.It plugs into your lights going to your fender lights.They give you a pig tail plug so there is no cutting of any wires.You just have to tie wrap the wires and thats it.

Spyderpops. He is on the vendor page. Service is fast and efficient. Order by 12:00 today and you will get it about 10:00 this morning. :roflblack::roflblack: Well, maybe not quite that fast. I was less than a week to get mine, and I am further away than most customers.

:agree: x 2. Plug and play it is. The wiring instructions are included with the package. The web site for Spyderpops did not show sheet #2 (wiring instructions) the last time I looked. This is a "new and improved" version of the product.
