Hey guys, I installed my vendetta tree kicker/rocker guards a while back and I love the way they look and perform in the woods. I just got back from my first trip in what I would call rock crawling and I have some concerns now. When I was crawling over the rocks and coming down on the round tube it seems like the leverage on the tube was greater than what the fasteners would hold. The factory style fastener pulled lose and caused the round tube to push up and bend the flat plate pushing back into the plastics. I’m going to try and pull them off and straighten them out next week and then start looking into a better way to support them underneath. If anyone has a suggestion please let me know. I may end up cutting all the round tubing off and welding in a small wedge just in front of the rear flare. You can see in the pics how it is trying to rotate the bottom out.
Thanks
