Yes it is the same one.

As for the wheel switch AEV may of asked them to do it for the TV show or they may of just liked that design better but they had any issues with the steel wheels.

Many? or did they have any issues? Inquiring minds want to know...

I am watching Dangerous Drives AGAIN (love the DVR). It was televised winter 2010 and I noticed the JK Overland Project had black Saverge wheels on them at that time as well. I believe it was a matter of preference for the show since they were testing AEV products.

Yes, steel wheels are more durable but heavier and that particular set requires spacers. More unsprung weight; more pieces to fail compared to alloy

We will add another layer and create the option for sleeping inside. Fridge, fuel storage, additional water storage and storage for recovery equipment.[/QUOTE]

Scott, did you build the floor yourself or is it an off-the-shelf model?
