Utah has held up fine for me but I had to add rubber washers to all the bolts due to a vibration setting up around 3500 RPM. After I installed the rubber washers, the vibration went away. I'm not sure if it's just the utah skid plate that causes the vibration or if other skid plates cause it too.

I've taken a few hits with the utah and haven't had any issues. Seems to be solid.

Sometimes rocks get in there and rattle. Other plaes I've had have a bunch of big holes that don't collect as much junk, downside though is the holes bite in when doing tree crossings, as do mounting bolt heads.

I get vibrations from the bill blue plate as well. Not all the time and usually only certain rpm's. It is annoying though.

Utah skid plate takes a beating, very highly recommended.
