Default Jeep roll cage style ideas and tubing

Hey i'm looking to make a custom roll cage for 2 door chop top xj..
I'm wondering a couple things:
1. What size tube to use. Thickness and diameter- which is best. I like the beefier look..
2. Any ideas on how i should do the cage? pics?
I was thinking a hoop inside and outside.. then like rally sytle back to the tailgate then like a 45 down to the bed.. and a tire on the back rally style.. open to ideas though.. give me your ideas
THANKS for the input!

175 dom tubing. you want to tie everything together that you can. I would suggest if your going to do this to do sub frame connectors. as a brace for the chassis. jm2c
