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.

No, I didn't. That's one of the concepts Jeep plans to show at this year's Easter Jeep Safari in Moab. I like how they've lengthened the tub about 6" behind the axle.

I'll be attending EJS and I'm looking forward to seeing the concepts this year. They've also got another FSJ-style concept they're showing, and I've got an FSJ concept in the works too .

Let's see now... raised roof - check. Side-mount jerry cans - check (on my LJ Safari, not yet on my JK Safari). Opening rear windows in the hardtop - Nope. Alpine windows in the roof - Nope. Anyone seen a photo of the rear? I wonder if it's got a barn door?

I guess if I wanted to get my Safari Cab into production now would be a great time to do it to take advantage of all the publicity the concept Jeep will be generating .

Apparently the Africa concept does have a barn door, just like the Safari Cabs .

Jeff's concept is better.
Uses an existing Jeep, retains the removable hardtop, has sliding windows or storage space in place of the windows, and looks 100% better.
Plus, he came up with beefier hinges, while Jeep is just slapping a set of regular door hinges on the sheetmetal.

Thanks, I agree! And mine probably has a better chance of getting to market

I doubt it, there are lots of really smart people at Jeep, I don't think they need my help. But if they ever contact me I'll be happy to discuss it with them.
