Yes it does come with the brace on the s module! It's going to help alot! What you see in the pic must be the mod rods bumper. It mounts to the same place your stock bumper does as well as to the brace on the s module piece. It's a tuff unit
It basically replaces the grip and rip brace. It's doing the same thing. It might fit over top of the grip and rip brace, you would have to make your own way to bolt it to the grip and rip.
It's really meant to take the place of all that. If the bottom of the skid plate is flat where that plate goes it would probably fit. Might need to get longer bolts to install.
I bought one for my xp, its the real deal. Jst getting it powder coated to my liking at the moment then mounting it. Its built awesome and its all about protection. Great piece!
