i would have to say PRM for cross country. i have their 1/4'' swingarm skid on my z and it is very good. also what i like about it is that it covers the rear linkage too. also, i have PRM as a full chassis skid plate too....very dependent. www.prm-atv.com

thats what i was looking at in dirtwheels. have you nailed any rocks with it yet? i was thinking of a stainless steel skid, but i dont know who makes them. i called lone star and they havent made any yet for the ltr. oh yea, do you have to take your fr. skid off to access the engine- oil drain bolts, cuz you know its tuff to get in there without one, unless you have 'elbow' extension for your ratchet.

yeah i nailed a lot of things (espescailly rocks) vry vry hard n i have not one dent in it! i would get PRM's...i dont think there is no need for stainless, plus that would just add more unnecisary wait to your quad. and yes...it has a hole drilled in it big enough to stick a socket (w/ a regular, straight extension) up thru to access the oil drain
