They'll either be able to bolt or weld on the framerail or both.

If you weld or drill, just keep an eye on the lines inside. Going to fab some soon as well. They look good.

No, I actually built these to sell. I just built another set of 2x4 sliders for my 2 door. I do plan on installing frame stiffeners down the road on this thing. My 2 door that I'm building now I'm actually giving to my daughter on her 16th birthday in a year and a half so you know I'm building this thing tough as nails.

I made these a little more traditional, I think they offer a little better side impact protection incase of an accident (thinking of my little girl driving this thing)
