Got the Ricochet skids installed on the Outlander Max 1000 XT today. Easy smooth job until I decided I wanted to replace the winch cable with a winch rope I took off my old ATV. Ended up having to pull the bash plate and loosen the front skid so I could get the front plastic kind of off and access the winch mounting bolts. Slide the winch somewhat out the right side of the ATV where I was able to access the drum and change the line over.

Outty strung up to the Maple tree, she wouldn’t stay set back on the rear grab handle so I tied her off to the tree on the other side of the yard. Take note of them fine new bark chips on the ground, spent yesterday hauling and spreading 12 cu yards of the stuff.

Some shots of the factory skids or lack there of.

Ricochets almost on.

I set her on the ground and removed the rear tires to get the factory plastic off the A Arm and install the new A Arm skids.
