Banzai diff brace question
This might seem a dumb question, but I've been pouring over the instructions and various pics online and cant tell if you are supposed to reuse the oem aluminum brace that goes through the rear of the ppf or not? It looks like it might fit, and the bolts might be close to being long enough, but most of the pics it looks like it isn't reused after the Banzai brace is installed, and the installation instructions and video are very vague about it. And if you don't reuse it, how are you supposed to secure the innermost two screw holes on the aluminum and plastic skid plates?

I've read and re read the instrcutions a dozen times and watched that video a couple times also. No mention of retaining the stock bar. Found tons of pics on google of the brace without it, but found this one old pic of someone else's setup, and looks like they kept the oem bar...

hes also not using a stock subframe.. its a cast aluminum bar. youll be fine without it. why the obsession with wanting to keep it? realistically with the diff brace it serves no purpose. the diff brace attaches to the same sides as that brace and just adds a 3rd point with the diff. the same how honda people double up on rear frame braces... its a brace attached to a brace. youre bracing a brace with a brace. the redundancy does nothing. and as far as those mounting points go, you can use a zip tie to secure it to the diff brace.
