Cougar Skid Plate

[Snappy]

OK, this evening I've just put together my Cougar SV and noticed the way the undertray is held on is a similar configuration to the CAT SX.

I found myself replacing this on the CAT SX fairly often so I've been running a rear skid plate for some time now (haven't had to replace a rear bumper since fitting over 6 months ago).

I'm interested to learn if Cougar SV owners are having to replace the rear bumper due to wear?

Also I was thinking a front mont skid plate would possibly be worth while. Does the undertray bottom out at the front and cause wear on the undertray?

I run on hard clay tracks that seem to wear though rear schumacher bumpers fairly quickly.
