You may also want to do something in front of and under the radiator, similar to the ones I make... Your radiator is really exposed right now...

Look at the radiator skid plates and oil pan skid plates that I make, in my section... It will be much cheaper for you to have your brother make them (shipping out of the US/CA/Mexico is more expensive than the part being shipped), but they will give you guys some ideas...
You do want coverage all the way from the bumper to the back of the oil pan, but I suggest you do it in 2 pieces, and have them share the front oil pan skid plate bolts, in the front of the front suspension subframe... This way, you can loosen the 4 oil pan skid plate bolts, and slide it to the rear, to just remove the oil pan part (the 20lbs part), and not have to touch the radiator skid plate (the 65lbs part)...
The transmission has been a low priority for me to cover, as it's far above the frame rails, and it seems like you would have to be trying to hit it on something to damage it...

Thanks Mike!
