Actually the aluminum is designed to hold up to decent rocking. We have installations on a number of different vehicles that see some good usage.
Even an offroad school in Sedona that outfits all of their vehicles with our skids.

All of our skids are made from 1/4" 5052 Aluminum, same material used in armored tanks, and use factory mounts or we add in 1/4" Steel brackets.

Ted, come on over and check the skids out again I think we might surprise you!

Do you mind if I ask what they cost?

Actually, no, it did not feel good to do the install myself. It was literally a pain in the neck (and arms). I am getting too old for this stuff.

I paid what Hefty Fabworks has on their site (http://www.heftyfabworks.com/), 670 something for powder-coated. I live near enough that I could pick them up instead of paying shipping.

I have a 2012 pro 4 x, I have already got the rock sliders... However I was wondering where is the best place Ivan buy the strongest skid plates, I am looking for the ful set I live in co, any good places I have been looking at shock works and heftyfabworks!

I run the HeftyFab skids on my truck and they have worked really well for me. They have held up multiple trips and they fit really well.

Good Afternoon,

I have the S-Works skids for 2011 Xterra S. I want to replace all the mounting hardware with stainless bolts/nuts/washers.

Short of crawling twice to get size them reinstall to get to garage; does anyone have the list of parts for 2nd gen S-works skids or a link?

Thanks Much/

Jeff
