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.

Subscribed. I had a hard time deciding whether to get a 2dr or 4dr. The only reason to get a 4dr would be to carry more stuff, then I came to the realization that if I can't fit what I need in a 2dr for a short (week or two) excursion, then I'm packing wrong. Still no regrets.

He put it together in a day. Its a big drawer on guides. The guides were the expensive part. Bout $100 each. They each have a 250 pound rating. I did purchase the wrong guides tho. There are two kinds. 1) that allows you to remove the drawer from the box via a locking lever and 2) the ones I purchased are screwed in and if you want the drawer out you have to remove the screws. I have also added carpet to the inside of the box to keep stuff from sliding around and to dampen the sound. The top of the box is in two pieces. This way I don't have to remove my hard top to get the top of the box installed. I have also added aluminum tie down tracks on the top of the box to keep anything I put on top of the box strapped down and secure.......

I did on my phone that went tits up last week. I'll get around to taking some more. I'm going with a modular and light theme such as keeping the factory bumpers (although modifying them), and not having more than 150-200# on top of the Jeep (for center of gravity issues). I have a matching enclosed trailer that I can pull to set up a base camp if need be. Its my answer to a 4dr, but there's only been a couple times I've needed it to haul stuff around town.

This pic is awesome where did you take it. Looks like it came out of a Jeep brochure.
