Default 4 seat bed delete cage

I have been working with a local sand car builder on a 4 seat bed delete cage. Its pretty much finished up, except for the rear fender well tubes, those are going to be welded up and finished in the next couple of days. The rear bumper also doubles as a cooler rack My rough figures show that with taking out the bed, I'm going to be about the same weight as a 2 w/ the bed. I'm 5'11" and I can sit in the back comfortably. So this is what I have so far.

Decent looking cage...can I just say one thing...you need some supports welded in there, that cage will collapse if you roll.

Question

I don't think there is any less bracing than most of the cages on the market.

All the corners are braced???. Maybe I'm not seeing what your seeing. There is no x-bracing in the roof though.

Oh ya, the one picture you can kind see them...

My only concern would be if you take an impact downward in the corner.

I don't think an end over end flip would be good with any cage. There is plenty of head room, the cage is dropped 4" in the front, 1.5" in the back.
