Smart! Very nice. My evap is over my axle as well.

Nice looking carrier and fab job. Got a pic of how all the compressors and tank fit in the tray? No muffler gives you a nice bit of extra room for this....

The tank sits in front of the skid n bolts to the frame cross member over the axle. It's a sausage tank, only 4" in diameter.

No drilling. It bolts in to existing hardware.

Finally got some time to install my Teraflex 2.5" coil lift. Love the lift! Handles so well and feels like a real Jeep now. The rake after putting on my winch was rediculous. Perfect now IMHO.

I have a Kargo Master rock that mounts to roll bar. It works great. I also have an extra one that's never been assembled. Looking to get rid of it.

This was a 100 dollar craigslist find, and a few cases of beer for the basket. Hence, good enough for extra room on the way to moab. Whats kind of cool though is i cut down a 72" long track to mount it and used the left over pieces as backing strips inside the cab. So now I've got a cool way to mount stuff to the roof inside as well. That said, i run Trektop most of the year and i really want a basket to use with that. When i get some time with a friend and a welder, i intend to make brackets that will bolt to the Top if the B pillar, and then brackets that mount to the roll bar in the back and snake out sidewise around the soft top. That way i have full use of the soft top plus a basket above it. Im not a fan of full kongo cage as I only need storage up top like 3x per year.https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/atta...1&d=1430004880

That's a sweet find for $100 + case of beer. I'd like a roof rack, but I'm 99% sure one would make my JK too tall for my garage. Like the idea of mounting things on the underside of the roof, that's an underutilized space.
Maximus-3 released a low profile roof rack with brackets that mount to the roll bar to help support the roof rack. He claims you can run the rack with the top off by mounting directly to the brackets. Detailed pics are on WF. I thought he posted a video of his rack, but I can't find it.
The only racks I've seen that work with soft tops seem to be for older model Jeeps, sorry can't help ya there....
