Skid Plates.. do you run them.. Why/Why not

As the title says folks. 

[Jgspahn]

no, extra weight.

 

Thats what I was thinking.. figured it might keep a little mud off of all the parts under the seat.

i run skids. like zilla said if you ride in rocky places ect then run them.  if i didnt have a arms skids one of my chrome lsr arms would of been dented about 2 weeks ago. i dont have the $ to be buying new a arms left and right. ha! i wish i could say i get to ride in the sand and not have to worry about skid plates!

I run skids and its not really rocky. Just wash em out.

i like to use the sprocket to get over big rocks

I ride sand and run the frame skid! I like how it lets me slide over the sharp dunes instead of dragging on my frame.

Don't ride near rocks.

[Bad one ton]

No, its a sand/track quad. No rocks.

I run full thick aluminum skids on the A-arms, belly, and shock linkage/rear axle housing & sprockets/disc - AC racing I believe though I remember hunting hard for the rear skid to make sure I got a full coverage one.

 

I ride mostly all trails, boney hill climbs, woods, etc.... And out here in PA we get ALOT of rocks in the trail so I utilize those skids quite frequently!

[special06shee]

I run a full belly, swing arm, and just made a set of aarms skids. As mentioned above, its rocky here in pa. I sank way too much money in my turd to not try and do my best in protecting it.

Well I have a rear skid plate for like the carrier, but thats all I run. I liked the idea of a belly one. I ride some gravel roads, but i dont think those pebbles are gonna mess anything up on the bottom.
