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 am going to post this here first just because I think you guys might want the first shot at. I built this trailer last year using the M416 specs. It is built from 14 gauge steel. The lid and the tail gate are removable by simply pulling a pin. It has torsion axles for the most ground clearance. I have the ARB awning and the big 3 man roof top tent. It has a propane tank, a spare tire and a trailer tongue box for storing things you need to get to more often. The hitch is an articulating hitch with an extendable tongue to extend the length of the trailer over 2 ft to make it pull easier. The trailer has collapsible rear stabilizers and the tailgate folds down for a nice little table. I have had it to Colorado and back. My wife, my oldest son and I slept in the tent and my other son slept in the trailer. The red matches my Jeep but because it comes apart easily, it could be painted any color very easily. The tires don't have much tread but pull good enough.

I would like to get $3200 for the trailer or $4800 with the tent and awning included.

Very nice trailer. I'm in the process of building one myself, or I would be interested. Did you incorporate water/hot water heater? What about a generator? I'd like to have something to power a portable welder without having to replace my alternator and all that jazz..

I should have mentioned there is a 9 gallon water tank in the trailer with an exterior hose bib. I don't have a generator but I needed the sleeping room inside for my son. If you didn't need that, you have plenty of room inside the trailer or you could remove the truck box up front. These things have tons of room. We spent 10 days living out of it with four people, an extra tent to hang out in, 3 coolers, 2 grills, 4 comfy chairs and all the clothes and other camping gear!

I will answer any questions about it you guys might have but I don't want to high jack the thread (to much). I am going to Tulsa in 2 weeks if your interested I could meet you in Joplin.

Nice looking trailer...and jeep of course! Did you paint the trailer yourself? I have a bantam I'm going to start working on this summer and trying to figure out what I can do to it myself without making it look like hell.

What hella do u have mounted on the rear of your Gobi and how well does it work? I've been looking at them for mine and was eyeing the Rigid SRM Flood Light but I'm going to assume the hella would be much more cost effective.

Its a hella 550! They all work great. I wanted something low profile but still burned bright if needed at night

Is that the Tera flex rear tire mount? If so how do you like?

Thanks for throwing in the extra pic. I have hella 500s on my light bar and hella 1000s on my bumper but I wasn't sure if they had a good offering for the rear. BTW, the your Sahara tan looks awesome. If I was going to get another color, that'd be it.
