I'm skinning both the inside and out. For the outside I'm using the original sheet metal with old cj corner gaurds for the end

I had originally planed on making a soft top for the back but I like the feel and look of an open top so at this point no. However I do have an old bikini top for a wrangler that I might make into a tonneau cover for the bed area. Or if that doesn't work out I may make the cover out of steel so I could mount my spare tire on it.

Personally, I think the TJ tub on the back is ugly as hell. The rest look nice.

I finshed cutting and drilling the sheet metal for the inside of the bed. It still needs some fine tuning and it will be painted but this should give you the basic idea of how the inside will look
