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.

What was done to your JK this week?

This is all true, except for the part about folding up easier and smaller than the sailcloth version. The twill is thick and heavy, and doesn't fold very flat at all - certainly nowhere near as flat as the sailcloth tops. The twill top is definitely a nicer top, but you're going to pay a decent premium for the upgrade. I've been happy with my factory twill top, but I don't know that it's worth the price difference.

I'm sure you'll be happy with either one, though.

I've had both tops and I feel it is easier to fold up because it is not so stiff as the sailcloth. This is also why it folds up smaller. Yes it is thicker but more pliable. When I would fold up my sailcloth top it would be as tall as my high visibility tail light. The twill sits several inches lower when I fold it up.

Relocated my Mag Lite from my roll cage to my seat frame in preparation for the soon-to-be-installed Trektop NX and also mounted my new 5lb Halotron extinguisher on the tailgate. I'm going to keep the dry chemical extinguisher in the Jeep as well, but it's going to be strictly for non-vehicle stuff.

The bungee cord is only there to help stabilize the extinguisher until I can get a second metal strap to keep it from pivoting.

Got half doors! Very excited!

Spod was pretty simple. But that led me to needing a new place for the CB.

So, just decided to make a double mount. Got a new radio and put it above CB.

Went to go install a 730n that I picket up. Come to find out its a low bus model so it doesn't work. Anyone install poison spyder rocker knockers by yourself. Got a set to put on it.
