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.

Default Slanted Smittybilt XRC tire Carrier

Decided to cut up my tire carrier and make a slanted one. My first attempt set the tire too high so I had to shorten it a bit. I still need to grind it a bit and get it painted but I'm proud of it turned out. Please try not to make fun of my ugly welds..lol I just turned 19 and just started learning how to weld

Thanks guys

Yeah I definitely feel lucky to have mine, I know most kids my age get everything bought by their parents but I've worked for all of mine and put everything on it myself, I have my own landscape business which is in an enclosed trailer so I got use to not using my rear view mirror lol it's not too bad I can see a little through the wheel but it's not that bad haha
