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.

Show your custom metal work!

x2 on all this. The one I just finished is made from 3x5x1/4" tube, and it's damn heavy. But it was free, so i used it. Later I'll probably re-do the bumper part of it out of 3/16" plate, like most on the market. I'll reuse the tire carrier portion.

Here's my custom metal work. We'll I can't say it's all mine. RockRash did all the "metal work". I just finished it out.

I cut out the small storage cubby in the back of the Jeep. RockRash made a new larger one, and had it Line-X'ed. I'd guess that it about doubled the volume.

Here's a link to the Write-up Rear Storage Tub Enlargement

Very nice! Are you putting a Hi-Lift Jack mount on it?

Yeah, probably. I might try to squeeze a Jerry can mount on there too.
