Who needs rocker protection...

I do. :haha:

Amazing, huh? I'm going for a solid mount to the tub and tied into the cage on the bottom side, but since there's so much damage due to not taking care of this little issue sooner, I am going to have to get a little creative...

As you can see, I'm putting the welder to good use Jonathan.

I was going to cut everything out and basically boat side it with tube, but I scrapped that idea since it would require completely re-doing my seat mounts and the front A-pillar mounts for my cage.

Have you seen the nth degree TJ sliders? I've been toying with the idea of tieing my sliders into my frame with a flat piece of 1/4.

Anywho, lookin good. You definately needed help in that area.

These will be welded directly to the tub on the top side, but like I said I'm going to have to get creative because of the damage already done. On the underside, it's butted right up against the bottom foot plate for the cage A-pillar (I drilled holes for the bolts to stick through) and will be welded in this area as well. I'm going to run four 1.5" x 1.5" square tubing stringers down to the frame.

Now that I'm thinking about it, I need to break my tack welds that I've done so far and see about how to tie in the B-pillar as well.

I'm past caring about being able to take it apart later, which is why everything's just getting welded in place. At some point I'll probably cut a lot of this off in favor of tube, so it doesn't really matter much.
