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.

Default I made my Tire Carrier a One-Swing Motion with the tailgate

Only took forever but heres the setup, single swing action with the carrier and tail gate. Some of the pictures may be kind of hard to get cause of the perspective but its the best I could do. I left the primer for the pictures so its easier to understand what I was working with.

From the side


How I designed the bracket on the tail gate


From above


Shows how I utilized the factory tire carrier bolts for the bracket


The bracket on the carrrier




If you have any questions let me know

Looks great. Almost pulled the trigger on the Rugged Ridge Tire Carrier Linkage Kit (http://www.quadratec.com/products/13008_1024.htm).

to complete the back of your JK you need a Transformers decal in the center of the bumper, the rear end looks like it's transforming into something crazy.

But it's very cool
