I made one of these a couple years ago. Well, actually, I drew it up and my friend that owns a machine shop made it for me. It's very handy, and looks great. Good luck with yours; you'll love it.

I want to see how yours came out as well. I'm actually not doing the metal cutting and bending. My Vietnamese neighbor works at a place that works with sheet metal so I gave him the blueprints and he's cutting and bending everything for me and then I'm going to weld it all together once he brings by the finished metal.
i wouldn't use galvanized. you will have to grind the galvanizing off everywhere you have to weld.
i would just use sheet metal and maybe powder coat it or just paint it.
i'd probably even use a bead roller and roll an X on the front panel like they do with the metal jerry cans.

I would use cold rolled steel but my neighbor said their shop only has galvanized. Besides, I used galvanized for all my floor boards and was a little worried at first but it turned out fine. Best part is, my floors don't rust anymore. Lol.
Here you go. These are old pictures; it's full of crap now. One thing to be careful of is not to make it too long. I have to push the seat back forward a touch to open/close it. Otherwise, it works great.
that looks nice! Hopefully mine comes out good too
Jeep noob here. I'm in the process of doing something like this as well. After I get my bilstein hd's installed. Just picked up a WJ this week. So lots of little things to take care of first.
