Hopefully they will start making some accessories and protection for them.

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?
