So I will not be buying from TT any more if for no other reason than they censored my review! I guess there is a reason there are 0 reviews on this product; they're all bad! Also, they flat out lied about the thickness of their plate when I directly asked them in an email.
So here it is in it's entireity.
"Misleading reviews and sub optimal coverage make this a disappointing purchase. Despite a clarification email, the plate is 3mm, NOT 4 as is stated in their description and email. This weekend's ride turned the plate into a pretzel. It did, however prevent damage to the engine, but the plate and mounting brackets will now require extensive straightening. Despite the claims of 'spreading the load', the front mounting plate took the entire hit. This plate is not strong enough to be anything but disposable, one rock protection. An expensive lesson, I will now have to shell out siginificantly more or spend time modifying this plate."
Of note: the plate did it's job and saved my engine, but this thing really is disposable. I had to take the 4lb sledge to it to bang it (and all it's brackets) straight. Not sure if I'll modify it or just take the Tenere on more appropriate trails in the future...
