Nice. Very efficient.
I may have missed it, what brand is this? Or did you make it?

I haven't been able to post until today, so I will post what I did last week....

....a 3.5" lift and new 35" tires!!! (Pics later!) I did not do the install.

I made it.
I used adjustable bed frame support legs on the front, made it easy to level and it's easily supporting the weight of the cooler full of water bottles.
I used these eyelets on the driver seat floor rail bolts to anchor the deck down

and these rails

Nice, looks great.
The rails caught my eye. Good choice on those. Looks clean.

Simple maintenance on both jeeps. Have to swap self tapping to normal bolts

 

[JKrob15]

Got the bumper and winch installed this week. Installing the rope on the winch turned into a full body workout

 

[SpikesHD]

I put a roof rack and side mounts on. Also did a front / rear camera mirror (no pics).

Does the exoskeleton add much more wind noise on the highway?

I've seen some people say they got some wind noise but I have none. I have a 50' LED above the windshield though - I think that breaks the wind up so it doesn't whistle on the rack.

What brand and model roof rack is this?

It is a bit too much for my needs, but I would like to find a way to temporarily (only when warranted) carry a full-sized shovel and traction boards with only a minimal carrier when they are not mounted. The same for a farm (hi-lift) jack, but I have yet to find a way to mount a farm jack on a 2-door which is not really stupid in some way.

 

[Launch]

New winch plate for stock bumper, new winch, and added my new WAYALIFE decals on each side of the JT. Slowly but surely getting there. Almost forgot new bed mat.

Lots of companies sell the same one. Body Armor, Smittybilt SRC...

I had assumed he didn't want the hood mount jack mount after the last comment.

 

[bobfriesenhahn]

Molle panel might not be good for traction boards on a 2-door, unless they can be mounted vertically without sticking up way above the roof.

Farm jack on hood risks the almost inevitable damage to the hood when trying to mount/remove for use.

Farm jack mounted horizontally on the front or rear bumper seems the least problematic.

I've safely removed / reinstalled my jack many times without issue but I can see for some it could be a problem holding something over their paint. Besides, the day I worry about the paint on my Heep hood will be the day I trade it for something nice.
