Has anyone put on aftermarket skid plates on their ride yet? After Brimstone mine aren't looking too good wanting better protection.

I utilize Factory UTV skid plates and their website now has them for the Wildcat XX. They have done a good job protecting the underside at Hatfield McCoy trails and Ride Royal Blue.
trail armor skids, a-arm and trailing arm protectors which are stout as can be here in the rockies...had them on our trails as well...they are not cheap though...
I found a plastic supplier in town and ended up making my own for my trails. This allowed me to kind of customize it and add protection where I wanted. It was much cheaper for me to do this than buy a pre-fabricated skid. It did take some time to manufacture it myself though.
Considering making my own, Grainger has a 4ft x 10ft sheet for under $300

The XX is fairly flat, so using the factory skid as a template should be easy enough.
I realize the aftermarket skids are process made and formed which would likely fit better but it's under the rig who's gonna care, not the rocks!

yes that's for 1/4"
on my previous rigs we found 1/4" to be fine the factory is 3/32
if I was planning to run LOTS of rock trails like the Rubicon yeah 3/8 or 1/2 would be better

Trail armor are great. Built in rock sliders. I am pretty sure they are what the MLS guys are running on their XX's too that I saw at WWW.
