I had these sent to me by a guy who worked at Birdsville Auto. I have heard stories of these breaking and wanted to strengthen them.

had mine done by Cheezy (when he still did work for the public). He welded up the factory welds again and welded inside the towers as well. then he put a triangular plate on an angle between the tower and chassis, fr and back. All done with out moving the body but a hoist helped heaps. I saw that B'ville ute and its a huge job what he did, probably ok on a ute cos u can take off the tray, or if youflog the crappers out of it. Cheezy reckons his method is same as comp trucks, but I saw one that had the body off and it was a lot better welded, both sides. Front towers not done, apparently unneccesary. Cant be fagged taking pictures, its dark outside!!!!!!!
