Trail Armor on both of my machines. 💯

Congrats, @JACKAL
I guess since Trail Armor makes you piece meal the A-Arm & Trailing Arm guards in addition to the main Skid, I could just order those items from FUTV as those items offer much better coverage for said items.

I'm sure Trail Armor has learned much in past 9 years, but I played guinea pig Dec 2015 with their P1K skids and pieces kept getting ripped off, still got a side piece missing in Tackett Creek from Oct 2016, wasn't as worried about it as I was the 2 broken axles and burnt clutch pack from that day ;)

I was convinced the Milwaukee Packout boxes / coolers were the way to go vs. any of the boxes by Honda or otherwise, turns out it wasn't as expensive as I thought it would be vs. the OEM box pricing and still not have a secured cooler solution.

Thanks to the many older posts from 2 years ago and some experienced suggestions to go this route instead.

Well I can be persuaded by others experience's with products. Went with the Trail Armor skid based upon the rock slider design off the body an inch. Still don't like the front skid stop 6"shorter than the FUTV version, I tend to occasionally push up on rocks at that point. Still stuck to my guns on FUTV trailing arm guard that you don't have to drill into trailing arm to attach and the front A-Arm guards. My 1000X-4 is being put together tomorrow and picking it up Thursday 11/7/24.

Got the following items on the way:

Honda OEM Trailing Arm Mud Guards - OSK12-HL6-A00
Honda OEM Fender Flares - OSF70-HL6-A00
Bosman Font Winch Bumper
SuperATV glass windshield and rear tinted panel
Trail Armor full skid plate
FUTV A-Arm Guards & Trailing arm guards
4 Point Harnesses for front seats
TUSK Rear Cargo Rack kit replacing both back seats & Jumbo Dog bed to overlay 54" x 36"
TUSK folding mirrors A Pillar mount
Mud Guard Shield and dust / airflow bock off kit
Kemimoto UTV rearview Mirror
Offroad Packout mount for Talon
Milwaukee Packout boxes (4) and 16 Qt Cooler (2)
10-80 Pre Filter kit V2
10-80 Seat Riser bracket

Everything above but the bumper should be here Thurs/ Fri at the latest.
IT should be against the law to blow $4000 in 5 minutes o_O:D

Been busy this afternoon with my bolt on bonanza installing the TUSK rear seat cargo plates, rear barricade, mirrors, and 4 point 3" padded harnesses along with the packout mounting base. I must say, the packout system is slick, I had never given it consideration.

Still waiting for UPS to drop off my @SuperATV. PowerFlip Hard coat windshield and tinted rear panel. Thanks to @Hondasxs for getting them out so quick at a great price.

Dealership sent me a message that my OEM accessory Fender Flares and Trailing Arm Mud guards are in to pick up, Will grab them in the AM.

Now that's some proper A-Arm & no drill Trailing Arm Guards 3 side coverage from Factory UTV.

View attachment 449658


Trail Armor full skids just arrived as well, haven't un- boxed them yet. Got something to keep me busy for the next few hours 🙂
Really happy with how these mounted up. 3 bolts across the top and 3 drain holes in bottom one near each end and one under the flared section of shock mount.

20241111 165456




Really impressed with how the Trail Armor skids are mounting up. About 75% done, only 10 holes to drill for nutserts, very happy about that. Had to stop for rock guards, those 5mm oem hex screws were inserted with a 1" drive impact hammer and used green sleeve retainer loctite, jeezus. Gotta get a 5mm impact driver bit to remove them bastards 😤

So today I spent 12 hrs on and off going over the Talon. Got my 5mm impact hex driver and got 11 of 14 button head bolts out no issue, had to drill out the last 3 and finished the Trail Armor skids rock sliders.

Installed my 10-80 Dirt Sports pre filter and seat riser rails.

Put the CA TECH high clearance radius rod set installed along with the Honda trailing arm mud guards, not sure how long they will last in the rocks, appears to be low hanging fruit, ripe for the picking.

Read where a lot of water gets splashed into the drivers foot well from the 4" tall x 2" wide hole for the brake pedal spring and brake light sensor wire. Used some rubber materials from @trigger make a flap that lays over and around the spring tightly. Should stop 95% of the water.

My stuff from the @Hondasxs club store came in so I could run my key on power, stinger, and fuse box for accessories. That CA TECH battery tray is no joke, will fit a huge battery.

20241115 194734
Made a non conductive plate from OEM skid material to mount stinger and fuse box to, then cut a piece of triggershield material to fit between the plate and battery top. Wired up a few items to test.
20241115 231225


This is by far the most under rated and most efficient way to set up a fuse box, with stinger relay, and rocker switch Pre-Wired by @Hondasxs to run key-on power, over ride power on with key off, or completely disconnect everything from your battery with the simple selection of the 3 position rocker switch.

So the wife wants me to seal the gaps at the rear of all 4 doors. Examined how the door pivots inward notably on the front doors and came up with an idea to test out. Got ahold of @trigger and had him send me the material he fabricated the triggershield from. The front doors will take approximately a 12" wide by 18" tall section on each side to seal off the drivers doors. Will be able to use factory push pins along the B pillars where the front of the rear door overlap and latches, the the font piece will secure on the back edge of the door with 3 or 4 push pins. The rubber material should easily allow for the movement while being water and wind proof.

Screenshot 20241116 012403 Gallery2
Red outline approximately area covered by material, yellow is attachment points, orange is cutouts needed. will need to make a flexible bar top and bottom to keep material pressed against the rear door to aid in sealing and keeping the front edge in place when closed. The inside of the front door pivots about 3" inward upon opening, then flush when closed.
Screenshot 20241116 012530 Gallery

Rear door will seal in similar manner as front except all push pins will be along inside door hinge area.

The door gap seal project looks like it's going to work good, definitely fit fine.

How it's attached to the front door backside. Just drilled four 5/16th holes and used Honda fender clips. Everything else used existing holes and hardware.
