Eventually, I want to cut out my inner fenders and weld in a set of universal tubs like the use in drag cars.

HOLY CRAP BALLS!!!! I see about 15,000 wrapped up in this jeep... those LED lights on top... I freaking want those, Ive seen em at the 4wheel parts shows but never seen em at night but at the show they were blinding the fab work is amazing... Id honestly give my left nut to have that setup built on my jeep!the only thing Id change on that jeep of which is already on your to do list is swap to a D44 up front or even 60's both ends but other than that im beyond impressed! the detail work on the bobbed bed is fascinating and how you tied the Exo with an inner cage ... just simply WOW! where is Culver City?
