I'm sure it will help a little but care less about that part. Mostly to have grip for my feet and cover the seam sealer. Nothing special.

don't need that e-brake... might also delete rear factory tower bracing and replace with a cross member mounted at top of each tower, connected to cage

Are you saying that you can just cut this out?

Yes. Cut that out and then add a roll bar up high in between the towers. It doesn't shave weight though. But makes a lot stronger.

My builder was talking about making a brace for the tops, never occurred to me that the lower section wasn't part of the main floor pan, but now that I actually look at the photos as well as the Courtesy Parts page, it's obvious that you can totally remove all of that if you're doing something aftermarket.

I might just have him cut that out.

Looks like those bigass bolts are the rear subframe bolts, correct? I don't want to pay him the labor of removing the rear subframe for this job, so I'll tell him to just cut off @ where the tabs meet the main structure and I'll remove those tabs and replace with big nuts and washers myself at a later date.

You know what, if you cut that structure out, I think you'd probably need to brace to the floor with your own material since that area is where the subframe mounts....

I think seam-welding the existing metal might work better than all that, don't you? Just add in a relatively small brace between the tops for extra strength and call it a day?
