Default Prettier, and a little more functional

Bought a 2015 2Dr JK down on the Gulf Coast, and brought home to Idaho. We figured this would be a perfect tow vehicle, behind the motorhome.
After removing about 200 decals and stickers, various out of state club emblems, and purging a lot of trashy pictures and songs off the hard drive, I had a base to start back on. Wash and wax, vacuum out the wasps and black widows, and get started on it.
Added in a Smittybilt locking storage box. Built a carpeted deck to cover that, and give a little hidden storage. Fixed a butchered front bumper, and mounted a high-lift jack (yes, I know it will get dirty there!). Took off the worn out mud tires, and found some new 18" Rubicon wheels with serviceable road tires for the summer, before going to some new 33's I have. FB Marketplace has provided all the parts and pieces for a cheap roof cargo rack and a receiver hitch rack.

Welcome. There is only about 1/4 of the space left in front for cooling air to get in there. If you are heading to hot country I would recommend remedying that first.

I like the deck. Is it a stock purchase item or did you fabricate it yourself ?
