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.

Getting the Or-Fab tire carrier delivered soon. Got the one for holding 2 Gerri cans. Figured I can do 2 fuel or 1 fuel and 1 water depending on the trip/

All aluminum. Great, lite rack.
They went out of business in 2009; very small number were actually delivered. I believe it was a production speed issue.

Mine was a prototype, ran by the Hood Lift guy first. The rack has seen far more than I have. LOL
Someday, I hope to catch up.

Haha, lucky. I hate the roof racks that go all the way down to the bottom of the jeep.. I want something that just protects the windows, on the hard top and can carry a bunch of stop on top. And that one just looks nice lol

Thanks. It is a great rack. No wind noise either Great design. Weighs just slightly more than a hardtop; barely. It flips back, with removal of 2 allen bolts; complete removal by just 4 bolts, leaving just the windshield hoop.

Quick question for those of you that have made your own offroad trailer. I'm looking to convert a single jet ski trailer into one and looking to put regular wheels and tires on it. Is there an adapter or would I need a different axle to put 35's and some cheap wheels on it? Thanks.

I'm not 100% sure, but I'd imagine the axle tat comes on the tiler wouldn't be beefy enough to handle off road scenarios. Besides, replacing it will let you bolt up the correct bolt pattern and not have to mess with the adapters (yes, they exist).

Thanks for the reply. This may be a dumb question but since the wheels have no power going to them, what kind of axle are people putting under them. I don't need anything big but like you said, the stock trailer axle probably won't be too dependable.

I'm not really qualified to speak that specifically on the subject. I'll let someone with more knowledge answer that one. I will say though, that you should check out the expedition forum (google it) as there are tons of trailer build on it that will easily answer your questions (and probably give you more) as you read through them.
