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.

Trailer build from scratch!

They look closer than they are, but before I paint them, I am going to cut a few inches off the bottom to make the higher and even further away!

Awesome build man. Exactly what I want. Really going to have to learn to weld.
If you EVER want to sell it I'm right down the road

Sorry, I just noticed the title for this post. I got the hubs and spindles at www.etrailer.com. We made the axle ourselves to get the correct length.

Thank you! My buddy did most of the welding since I was just learning. I didn't want to screw anything up! Looks like a welder is on my birthday list coming up!

Never got the call telling me the cover was done on Friday! However, I was able to get the Duplicolor Bed liner on the inside of the trailer and the first coat of the Rustoleum hammered on the box. I also covered the POR15 from the box to the coupler with the bed liner as well since they claim it doesn't do well with UV and I wasn't too excited about the gloss black. That will leave me with the fender trim, cut the fenders for the LED lights and the floor!
