yes my bottom bolts on each side go through it all. armor tub and flat bar. and i also found out a 4" bar won't pass through the box and rather than cut 3ft of it down that 1/4" i made it 2 pieces. i also drilled a couple holes in the valance plate and plug welded the ends of it onto the flat bar as well. i tried to stiffen it best i could, quite few things would have to break b4 it'll come apart.We drilled through from the outside to miss the existing armor holes, countersunk and through bolted using undercut head fasteners. Also why I didn't remove that part of the torque box, I wanted the extra thickness.
how often are you rebuilding the whole box and have you ever thought of housing the AR through it for rearward position instances??
