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.

Looks good .. How do u like going topless with a roof rack ?? I like roof racks and the looks , but I don't think I'd get one cause I have a feelings that it won't feel as cool and open when I have the top off

I thought I wouldn't like it and I'd end up removing the front panel of the rack to feel more open, but it actually makes it more comfortable. When sitting in traffic, the sun is a lot less potent.

Couple thoughts: The Spiderweb shade allows a lot of light through, but might make that rack seem more appropriate. And the MBRP is attached to the hardtop, so comes off when you pull the hardtop and have the softtop on. Depending on your point of view, that is an advantage or a disadvantage. Of course, MBRP is only available for the earlier models tops with the smaller windows, I still believe.

I think you're right. I'm going with the Gobi. Can't wait to get it mounted with hid hella ff75. 2 fog beams and 2 driving beams. Should complement my 2 hella 500 hid perfectly.
