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.

Fast Deputy: Nice job on rebuild to match the jeep. I like the fact the trailer is still true to its original design without getting hacked up. Hope you get many years of use out of it.

Very nice trailer!! Thanks a lot, without even trying you just spent some of my money. I now "need" one of these as well.

Default Update: Lid added.

Decided to make a lid to keep the items inside more secure. Since I have zero welding skills and I wanted to keep to my original plans of no drilling or welding the physical structure of the trailer I went with wood. I built the lower frame of the lid so it would float on the lip of the tub. It was a fairly simple and as far I've seen poking around other posts no one has attached lid frames using the same concept. A attached a pic of what the design of the lid frame looks like (it was a screwed up first attemt but the rest turned out much cleaner). I still need to add a couple of adjustable latches to the lid to keep closed tight while traveling. I got up on top of it and jumped around on the middle and ends to ensure it was solid. The lid didn't flinch. For a mod with a grand total of $145 I can't complain. Enjoy.
