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 good but I would seriously consider a cross bar. I can see those bottom welds getting stressed from the weight of the liquids and eventually snapping them off.

According to my 2007 info, 2-doors have 18.6gal tank, Unlimiteds have 21.6gal tank. I have also seen more recent info that the Unlimited has a 22.5gal tank. No verification on that though.

I do not drive around with anything in them. I only use them when I am headed to the trails or on a road trip.

I am planning additional horizontal bracing, but I am also in process of doing the trail rack and may integrate them together. So, I am holding off until that design is also completed.

That is a really awesome idea, 2 doors need all the help they can get on storage options.
