UHMW is the way to go for sure.

Wow they look cool. Why go with UHMW or say aluminum just curious. We use it at work to surface tables and such but I would have never thought of using it for a skid plate. Can't wait for the ride report when are you heading out to beet them up?

Well the main reason I can see is that it is slicker than aluminum, thus allowing you to slide over rocks. In addition, it has some give to it, so you will not dent it. I also seem to think I remember hearing it is lighter...but I cannot be 100%
