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.

That is a great idea. I am trying to figure something out to slow down the back wind flow from the rear coming forward and this make work for me instead of buying off the intranet. I want to install behind the rear seat.

For sure post up a picture when it's done. Would love to see some others

You could do that exact thing with this. Throw it up over the sound bar and then down behind the front seats. You could attach the toggle balls to somewhere on the bottom of the seat and you'd be all set



I ran around with it last Sunday and drove across a causeway with some pretty stiff wind. Only flapping from it was against the speaker bar. Nothing a little foam tape couldn't fix. First true test will be on the trip to the Outer Banks this June.

Couldn't be happier with it so far.

Nicely done. Your backseat looks like mine, filled up with car seats

I've thought about the same thing, how to get more space for the kids. I currently have 2 in boosters and 1 in a car seat, so it's a struggle to get them all in the backseat, but they don't mind. Now if I can find somewhere to put the 10 yr old, along with the wife........we'll all be able to enjoy the Jeep at the same time. Taking the wifes minivan, when I see the Jeep in the driveway, just isn't as fun.

There are a bunch of threads on here for people who have put the 2 door seat in the back. They are what made me decide on the JK over anything else. I always wanted to get back into a Jeep and that simple mod will allow me to have my cake and eat it too.
