Just realized with the help of Malarkey21 that we've been neglecting OSB, the less fortunate cousin to plywood.

I made this as an offering to the OSB/plywood gods.

I heard you only get standard osb on sport and sport s. If you want pressure treated you have to get the overland or Rubicon, can someone confirm;)
According to the Jeep sales guy that talked to his dealer rep: yes to the wood option. But they won't announce the price until after you order it, and I know it's going to be a $1,200 option after a renewable carbon credit. Which is fine if you want a lower tow rating, but I'm guessing I could add it aftermarket for $16. The online builder doesn't say how thick, so if it's 3/4 it might lower the the total number of sheets you can haul in a bed. The engineers we're brilliant though as you can take the sides off and stow them in the bed... they even pre-cut a notch for the fuel fill. Now the sides can be used as a bed platform for sleeping in the bed of the truck.

The Overland will come with some nice, open pore oak plywood on the dash for that premium feel.

Since the Truck is a Jeep they should at least offer a Woody version.
