i have my roof reinforced with angle iron in an s-10 extended cab. the question is, if i put in square wall tubing next to the inside door jamb to make a square frame for trim panels that are welded to the roof and floor, would it still be considered as basic trim to attach panels, or would it be a column reinforcement since it would be permanently welded between roof and floor? either way, what are the limitations to this, if any? thanks

A judge would really need to see this in person. But from the information provided it would be either SS or Extreme division.

i'm already in extreme class, no doubt about it, but i know there's limits on columns (like the total surface area allowed i think). i was just wondering if what i'm gonna do would technically be a column or just trim panel support. because if it's considered a column, i'll have to take into consideration how many bars i will use and the width of them to stay within the limits.

It is my understanding that anything which supports the interior of the vehicle, would need to follow the bracing width restrictions. Since your frame work would be welded to the floor and roof, it would support the interior of the vehicle.
