Looks great Bob, a great addition to this machine and as you stated, a better alternative to the aluminum skids!
We introduced UHMW to the UTV marketplace several years ago now and the response has been fantastic. the pic below is a current poll running on RZRforums.net and gives you an indication of the popularity of UHMW over Aluminum. UHMW is lighter, slicker and super tough stuff. It doesn't make you cringe when it clank's off rocks like aluminum does because it doesn't clank! Once they get worn and the mounting holes get stretched out aluminum skids start making all kinds of annoying vibration noises as well. One thing that has always stuck with me was a story from a customer who said he had an old set of diving shoes and the soles were made from aluminum for better traction on the rocks under water. One thing you don't want is traction from your skid platesSkids look great. I was always an aluminum kinda guy but you may have changed my way of thinking. Great looking product, great looking price.
Do you know if these still fit the 2012 Commander 1000 X machines? IF theyOur 5 piece UHMW skid plate packages are ready to ship.

do I would like to buy a set, is there still a discount for forum members?
I can only comment on the harnesses...I just tightened them as much as I could...did not use torque wrench...BarbaraWhen you install the skid plates do you torque the fastners to a specific foot pounds? I have the same question for the harness bar?
Sometimes I over tighten bolts and end up stripping the threads, other times because I worry about stripping the threads I do not tighten them enough, that is why I am asking.
Love the look of both of you skid plate setups, but any chance you are working on another piece to cover the sides and have it wrap around the edge a litte?Our 5 piece UHMW skid plate packages are ready to ship.
