[QUOTE="Jason C, post: 1256501, member: 16561"] with structure that goes into the cab and at least lands on the body mounts. Tie your seats and belts to it as well and attach to the fame as good as possible. Lots of triangles and few rectangles... good node structuring. Material prefered is dom pipe tends to fracture HREW dents more easly and will bend with too much vertical load but will hold up ok if designed properly. last have some one who knows how to weld good glue it together for you. in your design think of the structure as a whole all in push pull senarios. ask yourself these questions (if it gets impact here where is the energy going to transfer to). cage sould try to take the impact through the wole cage and not one isolated area to dispurse the load. and last no real long spans.
