That bars looks like it 'might' be a steering box brace? It looks to sit a little too far back for that though.. I think it's possible that it was just to hold the unibody straight while he cut the crossmember.
Edit: I think I figured out the super-cool rusty brace! (Not sarcastic, I see no problem with surface rust, it's just a little unpleasant in certain places. It only takes 10-20 minutes with a wire wheel and some spray paint to take care of it.) Advanced fab doesn't seem to like his home-brew brace. Maybe it needs some dimple-die speed holes and a cool paint job, then they'll embrace it!
On topic: Great job - It looks clean and functional! I considered going this route when I built my front bumper, but I decided against it, maybe some day when my rig is used less on the street.

Their not as week as they look in the pictures. but i believe they are ballistic mounts. i know they hold up pretty good cause the PO of this axle was not nice to it.
I added some tube to the frontend today.
