Sounds to me like it's way over your head.
There is a lot of stuff needing fabbed and if right up front you have no ideaon metal to use, then it sounds like to much to handle.
Safety is a huge issue here.

3x3 .120 is good, .250 is better but 2x3 will work depending on bracing and over all use of vehicle. .
