Let’s face it, plastic A-arm covers on a side-by-side that you are going to run off road can only do so much to protect you from causing real damage. We went with the full 12-piece complete aluminum skid plate set for our Kawasaki Teryx 4. The installation was straight forward for the most part, but the directions could be a bit clearer on a few things. What the directions lacked Ricochet’s online videos on YouTube covered. Installation hardware is separated into individual packets, so you know exactly what bolts need used for each plate.
Cons: The installation of the skid plates assume that all the OEM bolt holes on your equipment are usable. We installed the skid plates on a 2014 Teryx 4, so it has seen some off-road time. Several of the thread inserts on the frame where damaged so the provided hardware could not be used. The next step for Ricochet is to provide solutions for these types of issues.
