Thanks everyone for the compliments.
Class51600, I built the cage out of 1 3/4" .095 round tubing, also bought a sheet of 4'x10' aluminum to build the doors and the top. (barely had enough to finish the doors). The top I just cut out with some tin snips and formed to the cage attaching it with some torx screws. The doors were a little tougher but nothing an average joe couldn't build themselves. I had cut a basic large shape of the door and as I was attaching it I was cutting and forming the doors as I went along, shaping them to my liking. But I finished the top and doors in less than a day. Both doors are fixed and you have to "dukes of Hazard" it into it but I like it and it feels alot safer. I build some nerf bars for the ladies, to help them get in and out but overall no one has trouble. My 3 year old daughter even climbs in by crawling up the rear tire into the bed and gets in the passengers seat. :-) Plus I like the look of it alot better, I would recommend bead rolling the top and doors too...Now I just need to long travel it....
