Desert Truck Cage Design

Been working on a cage design for my truck. I'm thinking 1.75in DOM tubing to make it race legal.

If anyone has any input that would be sweet. Here's some pictures.

I would check with what ever organization sanctions the races you are thinking of to be sure on what material to build your cage out of. SCORE, HDRA..can't remember. What Class are you thinking of?
looks pretty good,...

Class would be 1450, I'd be mostly racing in New Mexico which limits me to NM Outlaw racing and they use whiplash rules for which I couldnt find any hard requirements on roll cage specs so I sort of took a best guess, the tube choice of 1.75ODx0.12wall is seems pretty standard for a vehicle between 3000 and 4000 lb which is what I'm shooting for.
