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 was looking at this set-up in Moab also. I did talk to the guy's from Jeep (there on Main St.) but they really were not alot of help. They had very little info on it.

We (they guy's from Jeep and I) did talk about this rack being from ARB along with the mounts. The bad part about the set up was, you could not remove the Freedom panals while the rack was installed. This would be a major draw-back for most people.

I belive the rack system from MBRP would be a better set-up.

Here are a few shots of our roof rack just before leaving for MOAB. The rack allows you to remove the freedom panels with ease and we have mad a mounting system to carry the panels on our rack or in the cage.

This allows you to carry more passengers or cargo inside the Jeep.

If you would like more info or additional images let me know.

Steve
