which skid plates should i get 4 my z250 i was lookin at some and some are thicker than others do i really need .250 thick or is .190 fine like will it bend or break if i hit rocks??? and is the .250 that much thicker???

honestly i would make my own. all they are is steel or aluminum shaped and cut out and u gotta fined the right hard war. can save you alotta money to. but i dont have the right tools so i whent off ebay and bought a off brand one with a .190 thickness and works fine. and i live on a farm with many acres of wooded land so trust me on this that find the cheapest .190 you can and it will be fine

I went with the Pro Armor .250 skid on the swingarm and the standard Pro Armor chassis skid. Due to the abuse the swingarm skid takes in rocky conditions, I recommend the .250 thickness. In my opinion it is worth the extra money.

just like i said int your other thread...a .190 will bend like paper, the .250 don't bend as easily...

the full chassis can be .190 i run one on mine and works just fine. but like speedy said on the swinger i would get the .250
