I have the main hoop tack welded in my truck. I used a 3 inch hole saw to go thru the floor mainly because it was the best hole saw i had between 1 3/4 to 3 inch. so to cover the bigger hole I took 1/8th inch plate put a 1 3/4 hole and opened with a carbide so it just slid up the main hoop before i put it through the floor and tack that to the bar then the floor. I would like to do this to all the points esentialy tieing the cab and bed solid to the frame.
The out riggers are 2x4 1/4 thick I know these are plenty big and over kill but its what the metal suplier had drops of.

Does anyone think there is antyhing wrong with this before i put the other points in.

Also as for the fire wall i had to pound the firewall by the trans tunnel in a little to clear the trans would tech inspectors consider this to be altered and will I have to put a full 10-point in to run 10's

Pics would help. On the trans tunnel, you are allowed to cut out a huge section, and still qualify as a "Stock floorpan" vehicle. The "pads" you are welding in to cover the holes should be 6X6 to meet the letter of the rules, but nice carpet in the floor goes a long way to keep people from getting too technical.

You could have used sheet metal for where you went
through the floor... you need the 6 X 6 X 1/8 plate IF
you are mounting to the floor but you went to the frame...
as for the firewall, banging on it isnt considered
altering
From what you are saying it should pass but like you
said those down riggers are WAY over kill
