So I have the DIY 4x4 roll cage kit. Should I bolt the mounting plates on top of the carpet and sound deadener or bolt the mounting plates direct to the metal floor pans?

Initially I just assumed I would bolt it to the carpet but after talking to a guy that sells sound deadening and heat insulation today and he told me that was a bad idea. It wasn't that I didn't trust him but I thought you know maybe I should ask more people that have done it before I just go for it. That'll actually make my life easier going ahead and bolting metal to metal.
Watch the floor shape under the B pillar, the floor plates I got overlapped a 1” tall step. I didn’t like the gap between the plates and floor, I was worried it might continually loosen until it finally compressed the floor flat. I had Kert make me some plates with a step that fit great, I got the feeling he thought I was overthinking it but it made me feel better.
I also had him make me bigger C pillar plates so the bolt holes all landed on a high rib instead of the gap.

This is helpful. I've wondered about both of these spots but haven't mocked up the plates. You think if I asked he'd make me some like that?Watch the floor shape under the B pillar, the floor plates I got overlapped a 1” tall step.

Probably, I think he saved all this info on orders. I believe he is a 1 man show now though so wait time may be longer.
