I must have something different.

This thing is definitely metal. I'm guessing 1/8" to 1/4" thick.

It runs from underneath the front bumper all the way back to behind the dogbone engine mount.

2x triple-square bolts at the bumper, 2x more triple-square bolts near where the suspension arms mount. 2x 14(ish)mm meaty bolts right next to those, and 2x more of the 14(ish)mm bolts where it connects behind the dogbone.

(I didn't get a wrench on the 14(ish) bolts to see what size they were while I was down there)

There's lots of other little things screwed into it like plastic guards and whatnot, and even a duct to pull in air to the snowbox, but the best I could tell it was those 8 that were what was holding it there.
