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.

going from left to right your second hole is higher than your others... im just saying but it looks okay i guess if you like things like that...

maybe the .01 of a lb you saved from the holes save you some gas mileage? but the drag from the airflow might cost you that weight because it could get caught in a vortex ring state around the sphere behind the handle...

Ok so first I found the center line in the center duh. There is a small line from the molding process.

Then I went over 1 inch X 4 on center and made a little mark.

I used 7/16 bit but you can use whatever. I would not go higher than 1/2. I used a bit for steel as in makes a sharper cut.

I put a J-box cover wrapped in electrical tape as I'm an electrition and thats what I had around (electrical tape) as not to scratch your jeep. It was 4X4 by 16th in thick

Take your time and go slow.

Trim off the burs with a razor blade.

Then BAM your just like me.

The End.

Ps. if you have a hummer do NOT use the 4X4 plate behind the Handel.
