Not sure what the specific names of these bars are. The first one is a round hollow tubular bar that sits just under my ARB in front of the steering damper (see pic attached). The second is also hollow but rectangular shaped and crosses the truck immediately under and behind the parking brake drum. I think these are both just skid guards but am not sure. Think it is safe to just pull em off and straighten them back out or do I need to replace them? Thanks for the help.

I have the rear one spare if you are interested or yours is beyond repair.

I managed to find a local wrecker who was able to set me up with both cross members for 60 bucks. Thanks for your offer though. Not sure why my hotmail is having trouble receiving mail - seems a few people have been having trouble getting through. Cheers. Jason
