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.

Any suggestions?
Gobi rack does it all!

Gobi is best out there. I have had mine for two years and it is very easy to take top off. You CAN NOT use sunrider with Gobi

Looks like you can install it w/o the front rack "sun roof insert" panel ... but is there enough clearance to fold the front (sunrider) of the softtop back w/o tilting the rack back? Agree Gobi reviews are great on the forum !!!

You can NOT use sunrider in any configuration with Gobi

I have a spiderweb shade, try that instead. I had my top down and doors off in this 95+ degree weather. No way I could stand that without the shade.

Works great with the gobi rack.

I thought you could use the sun rider if your top was an 07-10.

As far as tilting back while loaded, light stuff like a bike = ok. 200lbs of luggage would not be advisable.
