TTCR-II Middle Underbody Brace Help

I purchased a TTCR-II Middle Underbody Brace. I already have a few of their pieces this one I need help figuring out what these long bars with a threaded end are for



I emailed the company on Aliexpress all they did was show me pic of the mounting location which I already figured out



I ended using stainless riv nuts to mount but how those strips are used will baffle me


This bracket is also heavy at 5lbs most of there stuff is aluminum but apparently this one is steel.

TTCR-II did reply to me the strips slide in from the large hole in the frame and used as mounting. In my scenario the strips would block holes I used for my under body plates. I give them and A in customer service if you are buying anything from them on Aliexpress

How about the quality of the pieces? I am thinking of buying the lower front reinforcement, can the front protector be installed with it?

If your talking about this one
https://www.ebay.com/itm/267169266377


I got that off ebay it ended up being the TTCR-II. Check my build it was lightweight aluminum and yes the engine shield goes over it. I am very happy with it


And this peice i just installed I didnt think was going to do much at all. The vehicle feels so much more solid and has toned down a great deal of NVH from my stiffer motor mounts

Yes, that is, I doubt its quality since they are sold on AliExpress although it is still a reinforcement. 😅

not sure why laughing all these companies get the same brace and just repaint and rebadge them. It was surprising nice for $80
