| They have a front and rear bumper that will be available in the next couple weeks. I've been asking them to fab some metal inner fender well/firewall guards but they've not responded. I said screw it and picked up some 14 GA steel to attempt to fab my own. one company is making them for $450, but I'm not ready to shell out that much without trying to make my own. | |

| Hopefully the more people start getting a T4 they will start make more stuff for them. And right now stuff for the T4 seems like it cost twice what it does for others. | |

| Not sure. I bought the full set of FUTV skids, rock sliders, and A arm guards direct. Mention Teryx forums.net and u get another 10% off list. | |

| Thanks I am pretty sure UHMW is what I am going with. Is the weight on them about the same as alum. Or are they heavier.

| Not sure. They aren't light but they work great. The T4 just slides off rocks and is quiet when ding so instead issue constant clanking of aluminum. | |

| Yeah I took my plates off after our Aug. 3 ride and saw the plastic plates were in a lot better shape than the metal one and there only a 1/4 inch thick so the 1/2 inch thick UHMW should be nearly bullet proof. | |

| there is a place in louisville, ky that sells the uhmw "recycled" by the sheets. I think I was going to get two sheets for around $300, but never got the time to go get it. | |

| Sounds like lift should help a lot. Should tell big difference at Pickett.

| There is a guy who is just getting setup to make aluminum firewall skids if anyone is interested. They'll be $250 plus shipping. They're on a another forum but not sure if it's OK to post links to other sites? Mods is this OK? | |
