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.

Its finally here

what size lok fits in the tire part and the handle that opens the swing? does that make sense?

I just cut and spliced the wiring and made it longer, any medium size lock should work and make sure they tighten down the bolts holding the swing away I had some noise the day after from this spot I cranked down on them and havnt had a sound yet

Smbuddy im up in the Little Elm and Aubrey area, and Offroadme I dont have any rattles coming from this carrier, the only thing I did notice is if I hit a huge hole or speed bump it will bounce with the 35" that could happen with just about any carrier but again no noise or rattle so I did a small fix I noticed the upper bump stop didnt make contact with the rear gate wich was causing the carrier to flex so I found an old shock bushing that was the same diameter I cut out a hole on the upper bushing and it popped right in problem solved heres some pics


Shock Bushing

Upper bushing cut out


Contact with the gate
