Looks good but I would seriously consider a cross bar. I can see those bottom welds getting stressed from the weight of the liquids and eventually snapping them off.

According to my 2007 info, 2-doors have 18.6gal tank, Unlimiteds have 21.6gal tank. I have also seen more recent info that the Unlimited has a 22.5gal tank. No verification on that though.

I do not drive around with anything in them. I only use them when I am headed to the trails or on a road trip.

I am planning additional horizontal bracing, but I am also in process of doing the trail rack and may integrate them together. So, I am holding off until that design is also completed.
