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.

Looks really good. It's a fresh and clean look you've designed. Different than a lot of other that start to look alike IMO.

+1 I'm there. Yours should be pretty sweet when done. My only would be add points to attach D rings.

I'm am about 99% done with mine, all is left is a bit of of time grinding off the weld points. Will post when I am done.

Not much of an advance, but its something. The first steel parts


The main support brackets with support holes drilled, thats just a tiny bolt holding it up for no, bigger ones come later


Made them out of 1/4" steel


Both of them on


Took off the old supports and put the bolts back in the holes

More to come later
