Had to drive through some pretty muddy and wet "quick sand" type spots. Couldn't stop to take a picture there b/c that is just stupid since I was by myself with my girls. But I took this picture when I found a safe spot to stop! Truly a fun little truck.

The skids were installed by TR. I can't tell a difference in noise other than the compressor is a little louder, but from what I hear that is to be expected. I haven't had them on a trail where I have really put them to use yet, SOON though!

Any updates? Any word from anyone else that might have some of what these guys are making?

Put on BFG A/T 275/65/18's 2 weekends and ago and sprayed the wheels myself. Paint instructions say to wait a week before touch up coats, but I was out of town last weekend...so I'm waiting for it to dry right now.
I left the wheels on this time to experiment doing touch ups after they inevitably get scratched. So far so good.




What kind of paint did you use, and how has it held up?

I used duplicolor semi gloss black. It's held up great so far, but I still haven't had the time to get it off road.
Like all the posts I read, the better you prep, the better the finished product.

Thanks! Did you sandblast them or just rough em up real good?

I put a steel wool ball on the end of my drill and scratched them up, then used a 300 count sandpaper. I also used some prep wipes and the dupli color primer.

Someone told me a couple weeks ago that mosquito was closed still from snow...Looks pretty clear from those pics!
By "Kenosha" do you mean twin cone? Or where on Kenosha did you go?
