Is all your tubeing mild steel?

All the tubing on the rollcage itself is 1 3/4x .120 wall mild steel. I also used 1 1/2 and 2" tubing in other areas of the same thickness.

Here is the rear rollcage mount. All the mounts are mounting throught the body and to the frame. The cage will have a total of 12 points attacked to the frame. I think plenty strong.
