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 would have love to do a setup like this but I was too concerned with securing the edged tools for kids or low-lifes. Sure would be a heck of a lot more convenient on the trail than at the bottom of my trail box.

Hmmm...maybe transfer the tools to the 'gate for multi-day wheeling trips....

Do you just screw the quick fists directly into the metal of the back door?

Yeah. Just screwed them in directly. Used a little threadlock too. Dud the same thing on my cj7 and nothing ever came loose.

very clean and nice looking setup. I'm guessing Big 5 is like Academy or something?

Looks good... I personally wouldn't buy any "Jeep" brand equipment when it comes to knives and axes, etc.

Sweet looking setup! I'd be wary of a random a$$hole wanting to take that shovel to your body though. my solution was to throw my special forces shovel under the rear seat. Completely out of sight and takes maybe 3 seconds to retrieve it.
