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 Pic Request/Roof Racks

Happy Holidays!!

If you have a roof rack could you help me out and post some pics. I have a Two Door and was thinking of getting one but sometimes they look good and sometimes they don't. Thanks!

Same here...pics would be great.
Here's the deal... I have all the yakima stuff that I've collected over the last 10 years: cross bars, towers, copperheads, powderhounds, kayak stacker, and a mega warrior with extension.
I love my yakima stuff, so I don't want to buy a warrior, or something else that comes with a cargo rack already attached. I'm thinking of fabricating a close fit light bar on the front, and something similar on the back, but that will attach to the top of a solid rear bumper, or go through the factory bumper and attach to the frame. Then I could run a couple bars along the top to join the two, then use all my yakima stuff. Has anyone done anything like this???
I don't want to drill holes in the top, nor do I want to drill holes in the body. I'll sacrifice some plastic on the bumper, but that's as far as I'm willing to go.
Anybody else have any ideas???

I am thinking something more on the lines of Yakima or Thule roof rack systems. Maybe if I see some pics of the others I might be tempted to go that route.

Kargo Master sent me an e-mail friday to let me know that their congo cage is ready for shipment. I haven't seen anything about it on their website yet, but I'll be calling first thing tomorrow morning to order mine. The price is GREAT, and it seems like it's gonna be a super sturdy rack! I'll post pics as soon as I possibly can!
