Nice, but I don't see any positives other than if you have a low floor pan to clear.

I assumed he meant the way it's built. Alot of other ladder bars are adustable the way that one is. For what its worth, I don't like having the adjuster on the top.

David Lemmond do you think this might be a weak spot?

I would not want it on a high horsepower car. I think they are meant more for street rods or cars that people don't want to cut the floor on.
