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 New Steps Home/High School made.

Just had these steps installed.

I designed them and had my dad's shop class make them. They took a long time to make with them working 30 min to and hour a day and waiting on the material but All in all I've got 42 bucks and some change int them. The only cost was material.

The idea was that I wanted steps that would help my wife and kids get in and out, not reduce ground clearance, keep my Rock Rails, and not spend much money. I think I did all of these things and got an acceptable look for my Jeep.






The envelop laying under my Jeep is the one my area sticker came in I'd just put it on the tailgate.

He's 56, you might be a redneck if...

Everyone else thanks for the comments, I liked them but it's always good to hear good things.

I had them make me a luggage rack too, I had a bud that scraped a Bestop roof rack give me one of the plastic baskets and they made a frame to mount that to the hitch receiver using the existing mount location on the basket. No pix of it but I only had $10 in that. I only thought I liked shop while I was taking it now I really love it.
