Looks Good! I would bolt it to the flange just under the doors somehow? This is how mine are and it ties them in good with the body.

Yes I built them myself. Took many hours but I think they turned out good, and they work great!

first i welded in tnt unibody stiffeners. this is a MUST if you want to attach like i did. I have no idea how people get away with bolting to the sheetmetal that is the factory unibody.

with the stiffeners welded in, all i had to do was drill and tap holes. that is also how i now have mounted my crossmember for my long arms.
