Thank you! Plan on keeping the Jeep forever, so I build it with that in mind.

hey red sled. i dont know if you already did this or not but make sure you lock it down with some L brackets and some sort of locking holding shut mechanism. I did the same thing as you but with rubber and wood, and offroading it always moved around so i had to screw it in to the floor

I like the inside hatch release. Got any pics of the inside of the hatch panel?

My fishing rod holder. Pretty simple and price was right. I have a bungee cord holding the rods up front. It gets the job done.

Default DIY air intake

Hey I've seen a few pics of people doing there own intakes but nobody really explaining how to do it. I had a BMW before i got a 92 cherokee and i did my own cold air intake on that with parts i got from pep boys instead of spending a couple hundred on a kit. I cant imagine it being that much different on a jeep since its all basically the same concept. If anyone can let me know how i can make my own cold air intake or ram air intake i would really appreciate it. thanks.
