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.

There are other spots on the ferry where he would fit...like in with the buses and RVs.

I took the ferry in the Seattle area earlier this year. Roof rack cost me an extra $19--$7 without (my running buddy) and $25 with (rough cost; I don't remember exactly what my running buddy without a rack paid).

What?? I do not recall extra charges for roof racks. I see they charge on length, weight and if you are towing stuff.

BC Ferries charges vehicles taller than 2.1 meters (seven feet) a premium fare. The funny thing is that they still charge that on the newer ferries even though that height presents no issues. If I catch a ferry with nothing on the Gobi there is no charge, but if my RTT is attached then the rate jumps up by just over $20.00 each way.

I've haven't been on the ferry with the canoe on the jeep yet, but I'll be doing the Sayward Forest canoe route in a few weeks, so I'll be finding out for myself soon enough!

I would pay the extra $40 for the conveniance of a roof rack, i was on the island for 7 days. At least you dont have to unstrap and set everything back up every time you need to open the back door. For $60 that hitch basket works ok for now, although i dont trust the 500lbs weight capacity.
