What do you think(Skeeter) about outer cvc chances of getting damaged, Some trails have sharp rock and deep ruts.

yep..and i hit them all. there is no way to be 100 percent sure your not gonna get a ripped boot. only thing you can do is get skids.
i ripped an inner boot on first ride but none after i got skids.

I should have said the rear outer boots and cvc. On my 570L im getting skids for everything else. They dont make any for the outer rear due to the Trailing arms.

 

[skeeter69392]

i think your right on that.
im not gonna worry about those, for now just the stockers.

Ive also found that on the hmwpe skid plate can not be sold seperately (center skid, rear and front) 2016 Outlander L 570

I ordered those 3 & the ones for under the foot wells for mine.

This is after 1 summer. I wish I could weld aluminium I'd tack a strip in there.... guess I'll need a new bash plate

Damn that looks rough, I have them on my 06 and the front bash plate has a second strip welded to it like you mention. I'm surprised to see the new ones don't have this. I think I'm going to go with the IB for the new quad

Mines pretty fubar, had to straighten it.
But! They do their job, can only imagine the damage without.

Well the bottom of ricochet bash plate lips over the next piece giving 2 layers really... I spoke with them and they brought that to my attention. Makes sense.
Also.....! They are making a custom bash plate for me with that extra layer anyways !!! I'll be adding shock spacers keep me from bottoming out so much. I know not the best solution but will have to do.

you try tightening up your front, mine was in the middle and i hit real bad a couple times put a couple clicks tighter and its alot better now

Check it out !!!!!!!!

All the talk about skids and no one comments on what ricochet did for me!! Haha just joking but seriously now look at that! I've got 3 layers of protection now!!

 

[schmed613]

I'm not even an American but I support North American products. Buying the can am skids is like saying ok can am you gave me no protection on this high end quad so I'll give you more money for something you could have squeezed into the build and maybe raised the price a few bills. My rant for the day...
