How important is this rod?

So I just noticed that this rod in the rear passenger wheel well is broken. Is it important. Should I worry?
Bed seams to be stable....

It's there just to add support and strength to the rear fender

My buddy's rear one snapped offloading and it seemed just fine, just added support.

Off topic, just curious, how many miles are on your nittos?

I got them 2nd hand. The guy I bought them from said he put 10k on them and I've put about 5k on them. They're holding up pretty good, love them!

Thanks for the info, yeah I agree, I have put about 2k miles and still looks new I've heard some guys getting 40-50k out if these tires.

Looks to me that you tucked the tire up in the fender and busted it off.
