Go grab a piece of cardboard, shape it to fit. Lay it on steel and cut it out. Bolt it up.

This is not fab, please read the stickies at the top of this forum before posting.

All of them on the market will fit a 2 door but are made for a 4 door so they come up short.The info from jcr offroad site says they use 3/16" thick high strength steel and 10 countersunk 5/16" bolts
