Finally got around to finishing this project. I did drop right at $150 at fastenal and then a few bucks at lowes for some OSB and 2x4's. The JK barely fits underneath.

Nice work
This is another project I would like to do after I finish my extensive list.
Noticed that some people left the rear glass extended. Does this cause any problems with the hydraulic shocks/strut that hold it open for so long in an extended position. My only reference is my Dad's old belief that it wears them out, I don't know how that would be possible since extended or closed should not make a difference.
thanks

struts in storage b4 they ever make to the point of assembly are not kept compressed and one assumes are potentially stored for long periods of time in such a manner without issue....
