This is all totally off the cuff and I'm not sure I'm in love with the design but I am confident it's a step in the right direction and at the very least will give me ideas for V2.0, if that ever comes.
The way the factory Rubi skidplate crossmembers attach under the frame annoys me, Jeep phoned it in there. They could have and should have swung it up inside the frame rails like a transmission xmember (incidentally, the JL trans xmember is Al - who knew??)
So I started on the right side 'cause the greatest gains are here. I put a couple ~15 degree bends in some 1.5x11ga sq tube and came up with this (gloved hand blocks the shop flo's which freak out my camera)
More to come....
