It was a combination of what I've seen on other rigs as far as the geometry is concerned, my $0.02, and my friend Adam. I didn't do the tie-in welding myself.
After taking into consideration as to how the entire cage is tied together (in 40 places) I wanted to tie to the frame without doing a "hard mount".
I wanted the frame to still be allowed to flex naturally, the tub to flex, the body mounts to still be allowed to function, and the cage design to be all tied together but not totally rigid.

Very cool
