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.

I cut into mine with the 4.5" circular drill saw an inch or two when cutting through the body. Then just tapped the cut meta lin with a hammer to bend it into the whole. Fit fine after that.

Thanks, Prime. I wasn't sure if there was anything connected to it from behind, and if I cut into it something else would fall off. If you've done it, I'm cool.

It might not be good to cut into it, but I haven't experienced any problems from it yet.

I used the HF ones. Yeah they were cheap and I went through 2 of them, but they have a money back guarantee, so they were free tools!
