Default mini tubs+roll cage help

Hey guys, just looking for some ideas on how/were to run my back bars to with mini tubs installed (takes up mos of the frame area) just looking for ideas on what people have done, AND what is legal. Had a couple ideas but wana see if there was something different

and as a side note, its a 92 hatch with wolf craft mini tubs, have the 10 point already installed, (no back bars) have the tubing necessary to make back bars, was going to try and run some sort of straight back system with an x in the middle for added strength.

I was also looking at tying in the strut bar mount that is right above the rear axle area to the back part of the cage for a little added strength.

if you are talking about the down bars off the main hoop you should hit the frame rails or a rear cross member that you install.

Run the bars so they are parallel with the hatch when its closed then the X as you have already said.
