I just installed the full set of skids on my ’16 Grizzly.
Pros: solid, tight tolerances, won’t budge, great protection, good looks, quality hardware
Concerns:
– exposed bolt heads and no drain holes on front A arms as others have mentioned.
-The rear plate won’t fit with the hitch on the SE. VERY dissappointing since I called and asked that question specifically since I had read old threads stating that as well. The gal called me back after folks returned from lunch and said that it would work, although she didn’t see anything about recent design modifications. She offered to take off $20 if I didn’t want the rear plate, but I got it since she said it would fit….now it’s a paper weight and my rear inner boots aren’t protected. This would be an easy design fix, but apparently enough people havent complained yet.
-The cutout doesn’t align on the rear differential drain bolt like they do for the engine oil and front diff.
-The "nut plates" used on the front bash plate should not have welded nuts on them. It prevents getting a wrench on them to tighten the bolt (which are very tight fitting) I will be grinding them off the first time I take off the plates. They are great on the clamps because they stay in place when tightening.
I’ll have to make a couple changes myself: drain holes on the front A arms, grind off the welded nuts on the 3 nut plates, and perhaps cut a hole for the rear diff drain. A bit dissapointing overall.
