Default Tested the KOR Sliders

Might have been my best investment so far. Went and played at Uwharrie with some buddies. THe lunchbox allowed me to go up a run that required assistance last time and the sliders bounced me a pivoted me around a couple of obstacles. Quite a few scratches on them but no body damage.

got a question anyone receommend how to push the factory skid plate back down? Mine is pushed up a bit and the TC is almost tocuhing it.

Here are a couple of pics and a link to all of teh pics I took. Did bang a rim pretty hard and mangled teh center cap, oh well. Oh and my kid got some trail damage on my cheap camera, lol.

Nice pictures

For the skid you could try hammering it out but I would just go grab another OEM one and throw it on there. Or if you want more of a HD fix go aftermarket.

Cool pics...I've landed on my sliders from Kevin's quite a few times, and a couple of those times a little harder than I'd liked, but not real damage to them other then scratched paint, which I'm not too concerned about anyway. Great product, I'd recommend these sliders to anybody who's looking for some rocker protection. They've paid for themselves in what would have otherwise been body damage many times over. As for straightening out your skid plate....Bug hammer, and some big pliers or maybe s large screwdriver or pry bar??

Nice pictures. I would do what the previous guys said. take it off, get a big BUG hammer and unleash the fury. Maybe weld/bolt on some support bars so it doesn't happen again.

Yeah I would take it off and maybe heat it with a rosebud tip on my torch before wailin' on it with my BUG hammer.
