There was no gaps when I installed mine. With a plat on both sides the subframe connector was the correct width for the front fraim rail. There was also no top gap because I only removed enough steel off the end of the frame rails to slide in the connector. 

That looks like a serious reinforcement, I like the idea of never denting the frame rail ever again with that plate extension on bottom. I also love  the idea to cover all the gap to the floor, that will sure make it heck a lot more stouter. However, I wasn't quite clear on the explanation, especially how are you going to install the floor gap plate. What is that red square tubing, is that Tinman connector or another extra parts that you incorporate to the install?

I noticed that you have a thread on your connector install, please post more pictures as you make progress with your install I would like to copy it with your permission 

do you have a plan to fabricate a crossmember between the connector? That will make it even much stouter I think...

i initially was considering either Daze DIY which is essentially a Tinman, or Maier where everyone says is the stoutest in the market but cost an arm an a leg, but after seeing what you did with your Tinman, I think I'll go that way, looking stock and cheap is always better in my book.

Excuse my persistent questions, maybe I am just dumb LOL! I still cannot grasp the details. I umderstand the whole concept but I am still left with questions on the details. What exactly does that 2x2 extension do? Extend the connector further down the frame rails or something else? Perhaps if you have more picture of the whole thing, then I can understand better.

i am not going to use the picture anywhere, when I said copy I meant copy what you did on my car 

thanks a lot for the help!
