Thanks! It's 3/4 inch plywood and I cut the board 36" x 42". I could have routed around the seat brackets to fit so it would be flat there, but I didn't so oh well. It didn't seem like it needed support near the foot area so I didn't add any. The whole platform is secured in place by 4 L brackets.
I picked it up from redline
http://www.redlinegoods.com/Wrangler9702shiftboot.php
to get it installed, I cut a piece of wood to fit inside the cover adapter, removing enough for the leather
I then cut out the center leaving about 5/8 around the outside. beveling the top so it would not hit the stick
and trimmed the outside corners to allow for the seams
Flushed the cooling system this weekend and replaced it with Zerex G05 antifreeze
I thought your routing looked very profesional. Overall A+
I ordered some white/orange switchback bulbs to try. If they work out, I will order the smoke covers.

installed CB, so I can join the local Jeep club, Patriot Jeepers, on the next monthly run.
Next to pick up a fire extinguisher, first aid kit and tow rope. All (good) requirements!

Dirtworx bumper installed and cleaned up the rear crossmember (clean, sand, rustoleum). I still need to do the frame tie ins before I can pull anything (a rare but real need for me).

Installed my trailer light wiring. 
The kit sure makes it simple.

Installed a new to me (Craigslist) ARB Dana 44 rear diff cover. I like the dipstick and needed a higher fill hole since rotating the pinion up.
I got my new Smittybuilt X2O synthetic winch mostly installed. One thing the instructions didn’t say is how to install the rope. I’ve read that you spool it from the bottom. I believe you also push the fabric wrapping around the rope that is contacting the drum itself. Can someone confirm that for me??

Completed the Ford 8.8 rebuild. I had planned an Eaton ELocker, but for some reason Eaton says none are available for this axle until December. Just put the stock LSD carrier back in for now.
(Pictures appear out of order - the second picture is the rear end as is from junk yard, the first pic is with the brackets welded in place)

Today i finished up the fender flares and rear bumper install.
Didn't think I was going to get anything else done today, but hubby came home and decided to help me build my box for the back of the Jeep. Just needs some stain and then we can attach it to the tracks. Eventually I will be making a top that will fold twice. Once in the middle then another at the end. That way I can store my stuff in it when the top is off and have things a bit more secure.
Today i installed a 1" motor mount lift on the 05 Sport.

Nice flares but I think you spare tyre could do with a patch or two...I'd hate to meet the animal that did that haha
