I don't know why. They have two different part numbers.

It would make sense too.

Does it help at all with the lawn darting?

The '15 doesn't have those back two holes, so I believe it works with cutting the back half off of the skid plate, but I'm not sure how well just 2 screws would hold it on.

Yes it helps a ton with lawn darting. Also it is very secure with just two screws holding it. I highly recommend the front bumper. Best $10 bucks I've spent on the car!

Cool. I placed an order for one. I'll try it vs. the '15 v2 bumper.

Totally Agree! Thus I would recommend this bumper to any XB4 owner as well. BB ships very fast as well, in fact so fast it is hard to believe they are shipping out of Australia.
One can dremel the back hole sets flat, thus allowing the bumper to sit nice and flush on the chassis or one could cut the back half off. I would suggest the first option.
Bugleboy even states that the use of only 2 screws on the 15 XB4 is sufficient as the have not scene any negative issues.

Taking a look at this bumper as well. I also noticed they sell an undertray which is most likely for the the 2014spec models and older. I know the 2015 chassis is wider but how much wider? Anyone have the undertray and can comment?

I have had lexan under trays on other buggies and while a cool idea, they never last, fall apart and look like hell after their first day. With the availability of chassis tape, why even consider an under tray? I'm not going back!

I do not have an under-tray, but I do have chassis protector's from Playmore. They are really nice! They come in a pair, one has no chassis screw holes and the other one does. They can be pealed off and re-applied as well.

I would check them out as they protect your chassis being made out of a polyvinyl polymer. Plus they have some pretty cool XRAY Logo patterns.

This stuff works great and doesn't leave a residue when removing. It's as thick as any chassis protector I've bought and is enough to do 10 or 15 chassis worth in a $5 roll.

Thanks for the suggestion guys!!! Will look into the pvc pipe tape. Been using vinyl from work but they are too thin don't hold up too well.
