You could buy a piece of hitch tubing (the square bit with holes in it) and fab some plates that curve down under the XK for protection.

Your local steel yard will have it in lengths without holes in it for cheap. 2" x 2" square tubing.. I'm not sure what the thickness should be, but I'd guess since we are talking about the weight of the commander dropping down on it, 1/4" I don't think there is anything thicker without going to a solid piece of steel. Solid is quite a bit more expensive though. http://www.metalsdepot.com will give you some prices, they are pretty high compared to what I could get locally though even if I didn't have to pay shipping.
1/8 square stock would be good 3/16 would be better. So 10 gauge would be about 1/8 I think, wheres Doc? Anyway those are the two sizes I see in skids the most which in square stock would be even stronger so I don't think you need to go any thicker.
