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.

I made my own foot pegs out of cold roll, bolt(s), and perforated steel. I'll have to look for pictures in the 1700+ treasure trove of photography in my phone

Made my own license plate relocation bracket for the spare tire. Cost me about $30 total for material, delete plug and lights vs $80 just for the bracket.

Made a portable power source for my fridge and for charging cellphones and other devices.
The battery box is connected to a solar panel.
A friend of mine helped me with a mounting solution for the solar panel.
