What is this part called?
So I decided to have a little fun today and while doing some off roading I was going up a steep hill and came down a lot harder than I expected after going over a ledge. I thought that I had the clearance however I clearly did not. Attached are a few pics, I am trying to identify what the cross bar is that I dented in and were to buy a new one. This is the one on the drivers side. Also I'm sure that you are going to notice that I snapped the head off of one bolt and boogered up the other. Any idea what the bolts are? Head size and thread pitch?

Yes I realize that I do not need a new bar however I want one, just personal preference on not having one that may not be as strong as before.

Thank you

going to try a local junk yard and see if I can get that and the bolts for a reasonable price.

I drove it home today and didn't have any issues, I assume as long as I keep it on the pavement until fixed it won't be a problem?

You're welcome. You'll be fine without the brace to be honest. On the RCI skids, you keep it. On the CBI skids you remove them. BTW I believe the bolt head is 14mm and probably 1.5 threads.

I would just straighten the bar a little and replace the bolts. I think the bars purpose is to protect the catalytic converters.

You'll be fine without the brace fully attached. I broke the two bolts and the weld nuts on the same side that connect to the transmission cross member when I smacked it on a rock on Black Bear Pass. The cross member brace was only attached on via the front two bolts and the rear was just hanging. Wheeled up Top of the World with just a front skid and a hanging cross member brace. I'd say the weld nuts on the 4R are super weak. Ended up drilling out a bigger hole and putting in rivnuts. Hopefully they hold up.

i wouldn't bother replacing it, unless it really bothers you.

I would spray paint any bare metal that is showing for rust prevention.
