The All-Pro IFS skid saved my truck

I was out on some of the local trails in Alberta, we were headed to Wiaporous falls and decided to make a day out of it with 19 trucks!

some of the group


I did manage to really test out the All-Pro IFS skid on the hill to nowhere. On my decent I must have misjudged my line and bounced during the decent and I managed to ram a rock into my skid plate right where the skid goes from an angle to flat. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but once I got back to Calgary and washed my truck I noticed it is about a 2+ inch indent in the skid

With that said, the All-Pro skid saved my truck! I am sooo glad I invested in this skid and would HIGHLY recommend it to everyone, it can take a beating and protect the truck which is what it is designed for!

So onto the pictures!

my finger so you have an idea of how deep it is....

btw my finger is in the dent, not held up in front of it

Ready for it...... passenger side back view



So again I will say, the All-Pro skid saved my truck! I can only image the amount of carnage that would have incurred on the trail if I was running my stock skid plate or the TRD aluminum one!

Thanks All-Pro!

lol, holy crap. What did you do ? - fly on top of that rock ? I have the all pro skid plate also and I dont think a full swing of a sledgehammer could put a dent like that into it

 

no actually it was a VERY slow decent, just so happens the rocks are really pointy around here. I am pretty sure the full weight of my truck was pushing on the rock when it happened as I was in a slow and controlled steep decent.

 

Doubt you'd have broken anything, but you'd probably have put a good dent in something.

Also, a full whack with a sledgehammer is NOTHING compared to resting the full weight of one of these trucks on something. An average human with a sledgehammer can probably impart a few hundred pounds of force into something. One of these trucks settling onto a rock, especially if the rock is pointed, results in thousands of pounds of local pressure. The two aren't even comparable.

 

good point, for some reason i had the trd skid plate in mind,lol
