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 put my or fab tire carrier/jerrycan holder on in an afternoon, works good enough for me, already saved my friends twice.

Can't go wrong with orfab! Here's mine so far! I'm also putting on the AEV 2.5 and leaning towards 315s !

Good looking rigs.... We are going to be building out our 2dr (2012) Rubicon as an expedition model for SEMA this year... We have a new roof rack and the new 2012 version of our "new" modular snorkel system as the base for the build. We see this as a huge market and want to get feedback.. What are some products you guys would like to see made that currently are not available or may need to be designed better.... ??

We will also have a small matching Jeep trailer to go along with the build. This trailer is being built in-house and will be a one off but anything is possible if there is interest..

That's awesome! Thanks. Any pics of the roof rack or details? And for anything wanted to be made I have always wondered about what I can put in my jeep for all the wasted space inside in the back when the hardtop is on. I guess just more expedition friendly parts and accessories! Thanks again

I'll give more details as we get closer to SEMA.... The rack will use a version of our current light bar design but will mount to the factor w/s brackets rather than replace them altogether (like our current light bar). The same body following upper section will remain along with our built in deflector and light mounting tabs.
It will tilt back as others do and the rear has been design to stay as close to the body lines (both hard top and soft) as possible. We will design options as the product progresses. I may open a new thread like I did for the snorkel looking for consumer feedback rather than just assuming I know what you will want. I can tell you that it will be targeted towards canoes, mountain bikes, and camping with mounting options that allow for the use of leading manufactures mounting equipment.

An area I really would like to get feedback on would be the basket.... To keep unit cost and shipping cost down we are not supplying a basket built into the design. Because we can offer a separated design we would like to know what has worked best for exploration use. ... Thanks for the help!

As for inside the Jeep... Yes, we have talked about this area in regards to new products. Do not have time to get things made for SEMA but your input would be very helpful... Whatcha want??
