Be alot of metal but I think after briefly looking at it if I was to tack the nuts on the top of the cross member where to pairs of bolts go through under transmission/transfer case, it could be mounted there. Will definitely need to look closer at whats there to work with.
Ive even looked at a 3rd skid under transfer case back to the support bar 1/3 way back under fuel tank....again another large piece of metal.

Yeah, if other vendors continue to not be around, fuel tank/T-case skid is my next thing... Will have much better (supported) protection under the T-case, and will be 2 pieces...
Trans skid will be last... It's literally like 6" up above the bottom of the frame, and I went through TECORE loaded down, with stock springs, banging and dragging constantly, and didn't touch the trans pan...
That's when I can get the front bumper market saturated enough that I can breathe... and maybe do a bumper for my truck and stuff... a year after I had planned on doing it...
