Looks like the rear supports were replaced with the tube truss setup..... right?
Yep. We cut out the supports. Another change was to move the fuel vapor canister from behind the wheel to up under the tubing structure where the spare had been (still lots of room in there though).Originally Posted by Matt

I replaced the stock mufflers with a Series 40 Flowmaster in front of the axle. We had to cut the exhaust pipe off to build the cage and will have it re-routed later.

Wow pretty sweet man!
Looks Great! Removing the rear impact bars is the only way to go for a high clearance bumper. When and if I ever make one, those bars are coming out. It looks stupid (IMO) with them in and exposed.
That sucks to hear about your wheels! Especially since they are so expensive. They should be able to take some abuse without falling apart!

lmao... ruthless... But yeah, they look out of place if they are exposed. I don't care if they are in, But I would care if they were exposed.
The are fine for looks, and for the sand and mud and dirt--but stay out of the rocks. If the beadlock JK version doesn't grind away on the steering links, they would be a lot better protection for the bead and wouldn't peel away.

So are you planning to get the beadlock ones if they fit? What is the weight difference between the two?
