I have PRM A-arm, belly and swingarm skids(www.prm-atv.com). They are the best quality and fit I've seen yet. I also have there Baja front bumper. They are all light weight aluminum(.250 gauge) and are very strong. Mounting is simple and the belly runs $89.99, the swingarm skid runs $89.99, and the A-arm skids run $54.99. Check out ebay, you could probably find new ones a little cheaper. Hope this helps.


P.s. I should have pics of them soon.

I'm running OMFs all around and the fit, finish and durability has been great.

I use AC racings products and they've seemed to held up pretty good..

I have DG Baja's, belly and swing arm. The swing arm skid has held up really well, I am happy with it. I can't say that I am impressed with the mounting of the belly pan. I have lost a couple of mounting hooks and you can not get new ones from DG. :grr

I have the AC products and they have worked great so far. I don`t have anything bad to say. If I ever have to get new skid plates I will get the Pro-tect skids.

Id go with PRM for a full chassis skid, and a-arm skids, but not for the swingarm. I have a Pro-tec stainless steel swingarm skid, hands down the best swingarm skid made, anyone who disagrees must be on drugs(j/k) But seriously, its 1/8 inch of stainless steel, apsolutley indestructable. Ive had mine for about 2 years now, where I ride, Its a must. This thing takes anything you can throw at it, its a little bit expensive, but its worth it, you will never have to buy another one as long as you have your quad. If you have any concerns that you may bend a crummy aluminum one, then definetly go for the stainless steel, it will pay off in the end

I pretty much have everything AC (nerfs, bumper and all skids) and also have the PRM a-arm guards and satisfied with both. Either one I believe would be a good choice.
