Hey everyone! Thanks a ton for all the nice comments on my Jeep and thanks Barry for the heads up on FB! I've been working very hard on this thing and it has done outstanding to say the least so far. Just need a real motor and some tougher axles cause it gets heavy! It's been doing great for a slightly aggressive overland platform. David at Alpha Expeditions really came through for me on making sure I got all of my equipment on time before my Moab/ Colorado/ NC trip. It was a very tight schedule and it came together perfectly. I got his stickers in the mail literally the day before I left for the Overland Expo. Got a bunch of pics for those that would like to take a gander. Cheers all!
I read you on the axle deal, I just had my front D30 replaced for a broken axle housing, and after adding the tire carrier to the rear, the back is sagging quite a bit, even with the terra BB. I'll be looking around for some rubi springs or maybe some airbags to help with some the weight. Thanks for responding, and again, that is an awesome rig! I look forward to hearing more about it.

Rear shelves
I've done some more work on the shelves in the back. I added to it by removing the larger portion of the rear seat and built a platform for strapping down gear. I'll shoot some pics of that progress as soon as I can.

Sounds good, I like the slide out table and platform you have back there, and I already copied your worklight idea, I used a few quick fists and attached them to my rear wiper housing, it works great with my rechargable LED worklight.

work light
Your gonna love having that light there. That table has been such a wonderful thing to have. I used a piece of solid surface and mounted it inside of a couple of pieces of angle and HD drawer slides from Lowe's.

You haven't posted the pic here yet but a couple of the top off photos show an additional cross bar at the rear of your roll bars. Is that part of your rear storage or is the additional stability?
