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.

Is there something to stop the seat from being folded down and getting access through there? Or is it just a deck?

The seat will fold down still. It is bolted to the holes where the hard top would go. Basically needed to install it because anyone who really wanted to could get into the car due to my soft top. Plus it will be just as useful when the top is off completely. So with that board bolted in the only way to reach that stuff is by opening the tailgate. The instatrunk costs about 200 dollars and I built this for 20!

Then why can't someone just fold down the seat and gain access to the inside of your "instatrunk".

I think its an out of site out of mind type deal. Its not a complete deterrent. But it will keep roaming eyes away

Yeah, nothing is foolproof. I have the new Tuffy security enclosure for the 2-door, and it would be pretty easy to pry up and out. I am thinking of taking it to a welder to reinforce the lid of the enclosure with a steel rod or flat bar, it flexes a lot in the center.

Ah yeah I guess someone could get it through the seat. I might lock it down with a cable
