I am ready to put in my A pillar posts for my rolll cage. I see a lot of them welded to the 6 x 6 plate welded to the floor pan. What other ways have some of you mounted yours to the floor. Looking for a little more solid way to do it. Pictures would be helpful also.

I would sugest that you keep the bar as far forward as possable so you notch the front of the dash

I have thought about possibly welding a piece of tubing from the trans crossmember to the floor support about 7" forward of it. I would like to come up through the floor pan with it. Would this be worth doing or a waste of time?
not totally sure what you mean here. Would it be diagonal under your feet and legs, going 7" further forward and outward to where to a pillar bar comes down?

I put put a piece of 2X3 tubing from the unibody to the rocker then weld the a pillar bar to it. My main hoop is done that way also. My car is 25.5 and its legal.

I can just barely see the one on the passenger side right above the yellow lift pad. Looks like your bars go a little farther forward than mine. Mine will stop just forward of the trans crossmember. By the way, nice ride.

I did the same thing at the rear as the front, I like the 2x3 tube method better then the plate meathod. If your floor pan isn't super clean and rust free then the 6x6 plate would probably punch right through it if you put your car on it's lid. I also agree with what was said abouve about putting the a pilar bars through the dash, mine are in front and they are a P.I.T.A. to get in and out of the car. I'm changing that since I'm 25.5'ing my car. here is a pic of the rear on my junk. Steve
