This is not a paid advertisement for those plates or anything, but I don't think that you fully comprehend the beef in those things.
I have seen them in person. I have wheeled with them and watched them take hits. They are down right nasty.
Considering the two other games in town are at or over that price for good products, but not even half the beef, I am not sure what people are complaining about.

Yeah they look beefier than my rockstomper. I will probalby end up forking out the $450.00 for the plates, but it'll be a little while. I just hope they'll work with my diff drop'd.

I agree that $450 is a little high but in the end it might be worth it. I'll have to give Mike a call.

I trashed my rockstomper in one day pretty quickly Hey it served it's duty! Now its time to retire it. I'll probalby end up getting the ORS one, but I'll have to save a little money first. I need something really, really, really strong and this looks like it.

Well, in the interest of science, progress, and all that jazz, I've ordered the Trail Carnage skid plate set. Yes, its more expensive than the ORS set up (520, not including shipping). It covers the same area, but without any gap, has slots for water/mud drainage here in WA, will work with a 1" diff drop, and is a direct bolt on application. I'll make sure to post pics of the install.
I actually considered going with the ORS setup, but there were a couple of things that changed my mine, one of which boils down to customer service. A pretty straightforward email with a couple of basic questions to ORS was never returned, while Tom Banse at TC got back to me the same night.

I'll second the customer service thing, because I sent an email to ORS too with no response. I got to meet Tom this past weekend with a bunch of other TTORA guys at Tellico, and he's a really nice guy along with the rest of them. We had a great time trail riding and hanging out.

Changing oil. After removing the front angled plate (via allen bolts), the oil pan is further back yet and you'd have to trough it out front if you kept the whole front skid plate in place.
