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.

CNC Plasma cutter and a full machine/welding shop? Let's make a trailer hitch.

Very nice. Glad I could be an inspiration. You see what I mean about having to making oblong bolt holes for the mounting plates for adjustment? Good work by the way, especially heating and beating the strip of steel around the receiver end.

What was the final product cost?

$5 for the square tubing, $7 to have them cut it down from an 8' chunk to a 16" chunk, $8 for duplicolor bedliner spray (and I still have over half a can).

If I had it to do again I would have made the holes 5/8 instead of 3/4. I drew the slots right off the bat based on your recommendations, so I'm not sure if I would have needed them or not.

It's been on the jeep for over a week now. Looks great, does the job as intended.
