First and foremost, my thanks to @SBSYNCRO for the excellent and detailed post about his platform build.
I had a previous platform in my 2010 JKU that was originally built for my LR Disco 2 shown in the photo below.

That box platform was heavily modified to make it fit in the back of the JKU. Unfortunately I did not take any photos prior to taking it apart.
The half width had some benefits, but I wanted to make the entire back of the JKU one level.
Bought a nice 4' x 8' sheet of birch plywood, three 8' x 2" x 3" studs, a stick of 1/2" EMT conduit, two 3" angle brackets, a pack of plastic end caps for the conduit, a few furniture bolts, and a 48" x 72" rubber backed rug.
This is the end result:

What it looks like without the rug:
