I built this cage out of 1.75" DOM tubing .120 wall.

thats pretty awesome.
any in action pics?
 
Looks nice. You TIG'ing that?

I'd be a little worried about how close some of the tubes are to the sheetmetal. I think you'll be surprised how much the body flexes around in serious flex situations, it may rub/grind.

How you gonna paint it? Heck, you could probably just put a coat of wax on it.

Yup TIG welded, Well the owner of the truck wanted the tubing close to the body so that's what I gave him, I masked the body and painted the cage black no over spray. As far as rubing and grinding, the guy doesnt care he wanted to be protected since he had a couple of close calls with his previous vehicles.
