Yes they do, I am sending mine back due to that and ordering the Tail Armor.

Just FYI, you do NOT have to remove anything to install the Tusk skids. I removed nothing, other than some bolts, when I installed mine.

Here is my thread on Tusk skid plates.

Tusk Skid Plates

 

[BobX2]

The problem I had with the other company skid plates that ended up returning, they were not cut or bent correctly. Spent 3 hours with a floor jack trying to bend the skids. But there is no way you're going to bend this stuff. They tried to say I needed to heat them up to fit. I was pissed. Even the holes didn't line up. I don't want the kawasaki skids because they do not cover enough. But then I don't want the headache of going through the nightmare again!

I can understand the frustration. They should fit right up, and all the holes should be in the correct places.

Got it! Waiting on the reply. I do have the kawasaki bumpers and guards.

The Kawasaki front bumper eliminates the need for the extra little bash plate piece like JTW said. I dropped off a ledge in Moab that was a little higher than I was expecting, and I went over it with just a touch too little brakes. This is why I put on all the protective pieces that I can.

I will suggest this... ask them to pitch a piece of scrap in the box so you can make one of these little bash plates. I added this after I lost the front plate due to the spring sag and catching a rock in a mud hole just right to contact that blunt leading edge of the front bottom plate. They sent me a new one and I used a piece of scrap uhmw I had to make this little front 45. They don’t extend them up due to the variation in bumpers. So, do yourself a favor and add one of these if you’re not running a bumper that prohibits it. View attachment 2431

You need to get yourself some a-arm guards. Even the Kawasaki guards are better than nothing. Pulled mine off before it went in for the a-arm/knuckle upgrade, and the a-arms still looked like new. The guards are showing some wear which is exactly why I run them. One of these days I'll upgrade them to a UHMW guard to provide more than just scratch and small dent protection.

Also, I’m up there in clearance, so I don’t hit too much.

The picture you posted above says otherwise.

Trail Armor skids finally showed up today. I had to chuckle when the box of skid plates said “do not open with blade” on it. Lol. I hope to install them tomorrow or Saturday

That's funny right there. Guess they don't want you to dull your knife if you hit the skid... lol

The KRX is heavy enough, why would you "NOT" want to remove the factory units when putting on new ones??????

The flip side of that coin is, why would you want to remove any underside protection?????? Weight savings is minimal while extra protection is priceless.

Don't know how much longer I can stand to have Fraudci's mug up on this sight. (especially in my own post)
