    Well you may not have to wait to long, my OEM is rusted and Horrible looking so I may splurge and buy this.. Does it go over the bottom of the bumper like the 4xGuard or no? I hate how the bottom of core support is so exposed even to small rocks getting thrown up into it..

    The front of our skid attaches to the radiator support. A skid will be designed to run between the bumper and the front skid when the new design of the bumper is completed if needed.

    Any idea in the time frame for that additional piece? That's honestly the only appealing part of 4xGuard, I'd like to keep all SA skids from here on..

    Is this the v2 (is v2 correct?) bumper with the redesigned thinner winch area? Does this skid go from the bottom of the bumper to the rear of the engine bay? or will a stock skid be used in conjunction?

    Yes, The V2 will turn the winch plate to feet forward for a shorter front exposure. The additional skid will then either be part of the bumper or be a small skid that extends from the bottom of the bumper to the radiator support and ties into our front skid plate at that point.
