Here are some pics of my problem and the solution. I've done a couple of drags since I installed the diagonal braces and everything is looking good.
The first shot you can see my crossmember with the break on the left side of center. If you look real hard you can also see how it buckled the floor pan on the left hand side. My idea was that the floor pan would help with the structure. Turns out it helped until the crossmember broke.
Second shot is inside where the rear seat normally is. You can see my diamond gausetts. Also behind the crossmember is a crack in the floor that was also caused from the broken crossmember.
Third shot you can see the diagonal braces. Outside where they connect to the frame rail are connectors to the rocker and roll cage. One thing that isnt pictured is another diamond gausett I put spanning the two center welds. I actually broke it a second time after I installed just the braces.
