Default Beefing-up the Roll Bar

I would like to add additional structure to the roll bar. I want to do it myself instead of an aftermarket add-on kit. Does anyone know the tube dimensions for the back half of a 4-door?

Did some quick research and couldn't find anything.

Thanks, in advance.

Pretty sure it is all 1 3/4 tube. Except for the cross pieces are boxed steel.
