Read the section (4-11) on roll cage requirements very carefully, so that you don't run into any issues after the fact (particularly the illustrations that note the tubing requirements and for the main hoop support bars). There is also a section specifically on pick up trucks, that I've brought up on this forum whenever someone asks about eliminating the rearward bars from the main hoop.
