To protect the A arms? TgC_emoticon142.gif

Really I put them on because I want the sled to go up and over any obstructions that are just below the surface of the snow. Or I want them to take the brunt of the impact before the a-arm does. If you blow into a stump at 40 nothing is going to help, but these add a little insurance.

They provide a little extra flotation as well.

Even if I was paid 65 bucks, I wouldnt use them. Looks ugly as hell and your a-arms (or subframe) will be bent if you hit something anyway.

You obviously had the plastic BRP version and not the aluminum ones made by C&T Powersports.

I wouldn't boondock without 'em.

I'll 2nd that! Last season I went riding with "Dix" and after seeing how well his worked and aided in the off trail fluff riding PLUS the quality of the fit and finish of the C&T A-arm protectors - I am now waiting for mine to come in the mail for this season. Another great thing is the customer service - 2nd to none!

Guys-
Our a-arm protectors do not come off ! Contact Bowhunter here and ask him. He hit a TREE with his and bent the front of the a-arm protector up straight to a 90 degree angle and the mounting hardware kept the protector in place. However, the impact did bend his lower a-arm, but this was a TREE that stopped him dead in his tracks.
Our A-arm Protectors are not going to prevent this type of damage, but they will provide protection against hidden obstacles and flotation for sure.


Our Mounting kit consists of 4 Stainless clamps with stainless 1/4 inch screws and stainless lock nuts.

The factory mounting for the plastic ones consist of 2 clamps on one end, and an "Z" bracket for the other end. I don't really think that the BRP design was intended for any type of protection.

One thing that you come to realize with the products that we sell:
THEY WORK AS DESCRIBED! We WILL NOT sell something if it doesn't work.
Chris

The only thing you keep forgetting is to tell people to make sure they ate their Wheaties that morning when they go to mount 'em laugh.gif
