Need Skid Plates - Labor Day Weekend

We spent Friday of Labor Day Weekend on the Little Coal HMT trail for the very first time.  Love it!  Then did Rock House on Saturday from Man to Gilbert.  Very cool.  I'm a newbie on a Ranger and felt a little out of place among the RZRs and 4-Wheelers, but the Ranger performed very well and we had a great time.  BTW, Wally's in Gilbert makes the best burger I have had and its cheap!  Stayed at the Chief Logan Lodge.  Very nice.  I wanted to share this:  We ran over a large stick that wedged hard into the battery compartment and may have damaged the battery (have not cleaned the mud off to assess the damage).  A little scary when your 15 miles out and there is not much traffic.  This is a poor design.  I plan to get some skid Protection.

Sounds like you really enjoyed the Ranger on the weekend ride.  I have never ridden Little Coal, but have ridden the Rockhouse several times and always enjoy it.

As for bottom protection, check with JBS listed in the Supporting Vendors on the Forum right here.  He may be able to help you with the skid plate you may like...MD

James will take care of you. Give him a shout.

Maybe I haven't tried hard enough, but I've never had a bad meal in HMT country.  Glad you had a good weekend.

if james can't help you let me know and I can come up with something for your machine.

u r right WALLEY,S is great ,Gilbert very frindley

I checked out my battery.  That stick I picked up on Rock House put a significant dent in the battery but did not puncture it.  Its ok.  Call me crazy, but I went for the Trail Armor UHMW 1/2" full skid plate and A-Arm protection.  Got the skid plate on over the last couple days.

Enjoy the Ranger & glad all worked out ok
