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 My turn at a underseat security drawer..

Welp, I took a break from the tube fenders (major PITA) and decided to do something simple. I have wanted a security drawer with some strenght behind it so I decided to make mine out of 10GA. After it was finished, some freash powder coat in the oven and walla!





















Fresh coat of powder:











So wadda ya'll think?

oh yeah, you're hooked. In my old car I started with a metal engine cover and ended up pulling off all kinds of brackets and housings because it looked so good (and easy to clean too).
