never done it myself but xjs are a unibody so the roof is part of the structural support of the entire jeep. i would make sure to basically make the cage support the entire vehicle like a tube chassis thats incorporated into the body so it doesnt do anything bad on you. thats my $.02

Before I would cut the top off I would think you should add some frame stiffeners and then make the cage before you cut the top off. That way it won't move on you.
