And they’re here! They were so worth the wait. These are like armored jewelry. The gas tank skid has rubber bumpers to cushion any contact with the tank. Wow.

Installed! Lots of work. If you’re alone, give yourself a couple of days to wrap everything up. Doing it a second time, it would be much faster though. Can’t wait to glide them over some rocks.

The only drawback I could imagine with UHMW is that it could prove to bee too slippery in rare circumstances when a little bit of "bite" might save you and your vehicle from slipping off into something worse.
I used UHMW strips on boat trailer for years and they were incredible.

And now that I have seen them...

It’s possible, but I’m hoping the advantages will outweigh that rare possibility.

I’ve now used them on trails with high ratings of difficulty. They’re amazing. It was almost like not hitting anything. No more screeching and cringing.

Man, I have to stay off this forum, it gets expensive.

I just ordered this belly skid w/UHMW. Five week lead time though.

Their diff skids are far and away awesome compared to others, full belly skid with removing the factory gas tank skid is the way I would like to go also.....Jack

Your belly skids might go out faster than my diff skids, but I mine took 14 weeks. The original estimates on their site was 8 to 10 weeks. Good luck either way.

I sent them email asking if it is truly five weeks. We will see. Although it seems five weeks goes by so quickly these days, it may not be an issue. I'm just hoping it comes before my vacation in early Sept.

Man that system looks awesome! Too bad I need to do things like eat and clothe/house the family and such.

You won’t be disappointed. I have the same. They’re so good it’s ridiculous. Feel free to PM me if you want. I’ll share contact info if you want install tips.

I have their diff skids as well. They make aftermarket covers entirely unnecessary. They’re tanks.

Sounds good, thanks for that.

I just received email back from them. The lead time has been updated to 8 weeks.

I had early ones, so waited 6 months. Unbelievably, they’re so good it was worth the wait. Best belly skid on the market I think. They’re so smooth you don’t know you’re hitting anything. They add rubber cushions for the gas tank. It was like unpacking jewelry.
