The new front skid plate will be going to water jet on Monday July 16th so if you are in need of a skid plate keep you eyes (and checkbook) open. This skid plate will cover everything from the radiator support to the transmission cross bar.

Watching this closely. My friend was going to order the 4XG belly guard soon, but this may be the way to go
Holy huge skid!!! How heavy do you think it will be??
I have no clue until the first one is complete. The nice thing is that it will bolt right on with 4 bolts and three self tapping screws into the radiator support.Quote:

This will obviously only work on stock and 2 inch lifted XK's and WK's correct??
no added support? Looking forward to pics
Not sure why you would think that, what would be different on the higher lifts? I can modify if there are different.Quote:

Yes I do. PM me with your contact info and I will let you know when they are ready to test fit. I need a Wk for MANY other projects too so maybe we can work a deal on some future product too.Quote:

Is there a picute of it posted on this thread? lol not shoiwing up for me. I am definitely interested if this will replace the need for a 4xG Belly Guard? plus additional front protection?
These are two DIFFERENT plates. The front does NOT replace the 4xG Belly Guard, the front runs from the Radiator support to the cross-member for the transmission.Quote:

I will post photos as soon as I have one finished.
Sounds good. I will not be able to get skids until the end of the year anyway so I will hold off to check these out.
Thanks!
