The Airbar is a bolt in deal too.....its held in by 10 self tapping bolts....
I'm no engineer, but can anyone honestly tell me that 10 self tapping bolts into thin ass original frame rails would have held up any better? I would think that they would have just ripped out of the frame
So....looks like I'll be adding some extra support.......

I'd add frame gussets now since you are in fabrication stage. I have some brackets being cut and they will be welded in this week. I'll take some photos of the finished product. I don't like the sharp points this cradle was designed with. They could've easily been half moon shaped. That being said, with the way I've driven the car, it's not the end of the world.
