Yup, didn't know it was on this forum. I saw his truck in the TFL video that was posted a couple of days ago (I included a link to that video in my original post).
Updated with link to build thread:

In the TFL video below, they interview a guy who turned his Gladiator into a 7-seat SUV by enclosing the whole thing. Its pretty cool how he did it all...
The box into which the cover retracts is located below the cover and inside your bed space. It takes up some room. The JT bed is not big to begin with, so just check that out. It might not be a problem for you - just depends what you want to put in your bed. The aluminum retractable covers I was...
Another vote for LineX. Tommy, on TFL Truck, described how he had to drill out holes that had been filled by the factory bed liner (when he was mounting a rack). I've heard this more than once on this forum. I was really happy with my local LineX dealer, who took a lot of time and care. LineX is...
Its really well-though out: You've got a banana, and a knife, so whenever you want a bowl of cereal you can cut that banana into bite-size tasty morsels. Everyone needs a banana holster. However, not everyone needs a banana hammock. Just sayin...
I was driving my 1978 CJ-7, and it was a rag top, so the whole thing got naked in like 2 minutes. It was awesome. While driving on the highway one of the side-view mirrors came off the Jeep - flying through the air with some velocity. It clipped my buddy on the head (he was sitting in the back)...
Hey Kurt,
I know that you have worked on your Mojave a lot. Could you explain what they've done to the frame to make it stronger? I have found some vague information, but nothing very specific. This is what Jeep says: "We’ve reinforced the frame and axles, added cast iron steering knuckles and...
You are probably in the market for an All Terrain (AT) tire. I don't think you want a Mud Terrain (MT) tire if you are looking for a quiet on-road ride. I know that some MT's have gotten quieter over the years, but no MT tire will be as quiet as an AT.
I think one of the best all-around AT...
I don't mind hearing criticism of whatever vehicle I'm driving; sometimes I agree with it, sometimes I disagree. Either way, I don't worry about it or take it personally. Having said that, I think Motorbiscuit is the worst car review site on the web. Every article I've read has had spelling...
The beefed up frame on the Mojave seems to be the one thing you can't add to the Rubicon. But I don't know how they beef up the frame. Does anyone know what they actually do? Some after-market skid plate systems replace cross-members and claim that this provides added torsional rigidity to the...
But was it the serious finger, like "F-You" or was it the fun finger, like "ha ha we're driving rival vehicles, let's pretend we are actually in a rivalry just for kicks"? Were they angry, or were they goofing around? If they were just goofing around, that's part of the camaraderie of...
I don't know anything about appraisal, but it seems like body damage to the rocker panel is always expensive to fix. Its one of the reasons that we install rock sliders. If body damage is confined to a single panel - like the front fender - its not too expensive, but damage to the rocker panel...
P.S. I'm going to offer some unsolicited advice, because I'm at that age where I think I have the right to do so, and its the internet, so there's nothing you can do to stop me ;)
Leave that bikini top on when you're driving (except those days when you really have to have it off). The sun feels...
Really hard to say - there are so many variables. This I can guarantee: after ten years of being left outside naked for 3-4 months per year, the inside of your Jeep will look different than if it had been garaged the whole time! With an answer like that, I could be a politician ;) Sounds like...
