Need help identitying a ding under body

[Sarconus]

Went out today and hit a rock. Rolled on top of it and misjudged my heigth. Took a ding but doesn't feel like it has impacted the steering but just want to make sure it might no cause issues down the road

Part on it say 50133e ae but can't find it online. This is front left driver side

I wouldn't worry abut it. 2.3 Broncos don't even have that brace. I think a few of the vendors have skids for it if you want to save it from further dings.

Thanks do you know what the part name is? Looks like a reinforce brace that is replaceable.

I don't know the exact name but I'm sure someone else will chime in. I've seen some pretty beat up ones so far.

It’s welded to a crossmember on one end fyi

My LOD Offroad skid arrived today. It covers those crossbars (mine are really beat up and I'm tired of getting hung up on them), protects an oil pan, covers the catalytic converter to protect from theft and the price was fair. 4x win. I'll install it tomorrow.

BTW, you don't need to worry about replacing that bar (you can't anyway), you hardly did anything to it.

I am worried that if you bend them too much they might cause strain or pull on the frame. I am no mechanic though.

Mine are pretty banged up. Not worried about it at all

Not an issue don't worry about it. Get a skid plate if your worried.

Second the advice on the LOD transmission skid. It wraps around those cross members and bolts up to the 2 pictured bolts
