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.

How is the stock tailgate holding up with the 33" spare + the extra gear weight?

The tailgate is fine with the spare there is a slight difference in driving but its a stick so its no big deal i shift up or down when its needed the only real issue i've had is on my way home from work it's practically all incline on the interstate for about 10 miles n it used 2 do it in 6th gear at 70 mph no problem but now it will only do bout 63

I got mine about a month ago and it helped organize my stuff too. Before installing, I bedlined my gate door to tie it all together.

Default Does it come with the pouches?

Not sure if this is a dumb question, but does it come with those two pouches? I looked at quadretec and even the smittybilt site, but it doesn't say if it comes with the two pouches. I guess it does, but would like confirmation. Thanks!!

Yep, it does. I have it also, and love it. Great for storing recovery gear. I've got the overhead console too, and just wish I could come up with enough useful stuff to fill all the pouches...
