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.

does look nice. and they have been improving it with the work they did with the rear redesign. maybe they'll work it out eventually.

As it turns out, I had the railed installed improperly

This is one good looking JK! I like the way the top looks with the angled back.

well I emailed that exact pic to them and was told that was how the one at their shop looked. So what part did you not install properly? You have my curiosity up...

wayoflife or anyone else that knows, ups is delivering my trektop today, the weather is supposed to be incredible this weekend and i'm anxious to ditch the hard top but i didn't realize the tailgate bar doesn't come with it and still needs to be ordered seperately...

From what I have seen if you get the tailgate bar you're supposed to put the strip of velcro on the bar instead of the tailgate itself correct? I won't be able to have the bar here in time for this weekend but i really want to install the top soooooo can i just run the top without securing the back window for a few days or should I just install the velcro on the tailgate and peel it back off when the bar comes?

Also, is there a preferred vendor we use to buy the tailgate bar from???

Thanks!!!

Put my Trektop on last night and the only wind noise I have is on the driver side front. Were you able to get pictures of the insulation?
