JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Default Jeep Movie Theater

I posted this when I first built it in it's own thread, but I think it belongs here in the homemade mod section. I was contemplating watching movies while camping and the 4 inch screen just wasn't cutting it, so I decided to turn our Roof Rack into a 120" (diagonal of course) screen. I use a 750 watt power inverter to run the power, and wireless speakers for sound. Portable projector + compact DVD player = Movies anywhere. The drop down screen I picked up on craigslist for 20 bucks!

The first DVD HAD to be the Project-JK Rubicon Trail 2010 run!

The photo quality is low because it was hard getting the movie in the shot without a flash.

Thanks! I didn't go all out on the speakers. I use

Audio Unlimited Premium 900MHz Wireless Indoor/Outdoor Speakers

Cost about 75 to 100 bucks, and very easy to use. :-)
