Yeah yeah....by the time I'm done with the car, the frame will have melted away from global warming...

I will have close to 600 HP....335 in rear but not as sticky of a tire....and the car will get abused but not nearly what Todd does I'm sure..

All last night I was trying to come up with plans for gussets or other braces to act as a counterforce for the bracket pulling on the frame etc. I think that at the minimum I'll add a plate to the outside of the frame that extends past the ends of the bracket.

Todd...yours is the g-bar? The pix I pulled up look like a different design than is under your car but I may be wrong. I pulled it up online to get a more global view of where the system attaches and spreads the load.

One thing I did notice is that the Airbar system frame bracket has longer horns on each side of where the tube attaches to the frame plate. The g-bar and g-link have those attachements pretty close to the ends of the frame bracket.
