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.

It's more or less done. Just hanging in the shop overnight letting the paint dry. Hoping to mount it up tomorrow after work. I'll take some pics and post 'em up when I do.

Here's the CAD drawing with dimensions for anyone else interested in giving it a go...

I think it turned out pretty good. The square tubing must've been off just a touch as the upper left corner of the bracket is just a little higher than the right, but it'll do. Next project is to fab up a bracket to use the stock light.

How did you wire up the OEM light? Routing, etc...?

I chose to run the wire back up through the tub, there is a rubber seal on the driver rear inside. I just pulled my wire through the seal and ran it behind the carpet then inside my rear storage then I ran it out with the original wires in the tail gate. I will post up some pics tomorrow.

I just didnt want to run wire under the jeep and on the outside of my tail gate.
