    Didn't mean anything other than the tubing "visually" looks funky.. little bit of cleanup and paint and all will be good

    Thanks for your suggestion Scott:
    I already spoke to the fabricator and he will improve onto the base of the rollbar and will extend the base gusset plate all the way by the rocker by the corner.

    Thanks,

    The rear down tubes going to the plates are good. The tubes added for bracing are welded in shear and are reduced to the strength of the weld. I would suggest in the future they go to the plates or the front side of the tubes to place them in compression. We usually add a bar between the strut\shock towers and go to that joint for added strength.
