Im putting my skids on. If you have installed some on a maverick, what did you think?

I would think it would be easy. The stock skids are pretty much flat and would be easy to use as s template.

What's your issues? Holes not linning up?

 

[Blownhotrodder]

Yea I did too but it has been more difficult than I expected. The sides actually flare up on the machine and the futv skid is flat so you have to bend it up. They should have molded it that way instead of flat. And the directions is a sheet of paper with hand written directions (pretty vauge) and a phone number saying call me if you got questions.

Hold it up with a floor jack and get the middle bolted up, then use the floor jack to bend the sides up.

On brand new stuff? Sad

Id still recommend these, its just like everything aftermarket is never perfect.

sounds like they just copied the stock plates and did not test them. First to the market is not always best.

 

[Blownhotrodder]

No they didnt just copy them. It covers the whole bottom in one piece. Have you even looked at what the stock ones look like? Know what the futv one looks like? Stock ones dont even cover most of the bottom.

never seen the futv ones, and yes the stock ones are small but they serve me well. If a product does not have good directions and is a pita to install i would say they need a little more engineering before they put out more. Alot of the aftermarket and OEM manufactures expect us as the consumers to test their shitty designs. If we dont stand up and demand a fix when something goes wrong we are part of the problem.

dont be afraid to call them out, i will only make a better product.

Well futv just called me and we talked about the skids. Thats great service and greatly appreciated. The issue I was having was the sides come flat and you just bend them up and they will be good to go. The commanders are the same way. I was just afraid to force it up because I thought it would break. I will post pics when I get done. Im happy again, thanks futv.

Here's a couple of pics with the a-arms guards on. They used my rig for the mock up and can tell you these guys are great stand up people. These are by far the best made, I agree the instructions are a little vague, at least they were on my Commander but it is pretty straight forward. Unbolt stock skids and bolt up new skids w/the exception with the self tapping bolts on the edges.

Sorry about the instructions, we've just been inundated with requests for the skids and wanted to get them to people ASAP. Any of our customers can call the shop anytime and get support for any issue with our products and we will get proper instructions done for the skids.
