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 LOVE to have one, but it won't fit my 2011 Rubicon.
What changed in 2011 that the rack won't fit?

I saw one at the dealer a month ago and noticed the rear window on the hard top is wider now. Don't know what else might have changed so that it won't work. ??

I'm looking at getting a roof rack soon, but i dont know which one would work best for me?
i dont want to have to drill into my jeep, i have a soft top.

i really like the Gobi set up.
how would a rack effect mpg?

what do u guys think?

Has anyone noticed the Kargo Master Weekend rack that bolts to the roll bars. Does anyone know if it is compatible with a JK and if it comes with the bars only (without the actual rack)?

Ive had the MBRP and the Gobi. The Gobi is the most practicle. I love it. I lost a MPG or so, and had to deal with, then correct the wind noise, but once thats all done, its quiet, and looks awesome. I use it for camping (RTT and Awning up top), the beach (Awning and all beach stuff up top), and mountain bike day trips (gear and a bike up top). I dont know what I would do with out it. Its ridiculously sturdy also, and kids love it.

With my hard top ... not too bad. The only issue I ever had is that it basically extends the less than aerodynamic windshield up a half foot. I took the rack off this past winter and WOW I thought I was driving a sports car with the improved feeling.

Cheers, Kiwi
