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.

Buckhorn ...

I think my military specification J8 fits here. Handles surprisingly very well with the RTT. I think it's because of the load rating on the leaf springs

Blackjack, check the Jeep Swag carrier. Love mine and it keeps everything clean and rust free while keeping the untrustworthy from "Eyeballing" it http://www.jeepswag.com/jackmount/index.html

I have seen that carrier and its isn't compatible with my 2 door. It says the version for the JK is "coming soon" but my understanding that has been the case for a while. I am content with where my lift is currently (strapped down to the floor with the back seat removed) but I'd really like to be able to carry the fuel getting the shovel outside is a bonus. Pics below are how I'm running now. The dog bed is for my Great Dane.

That is the TF carrier's accessory mount, and the rotopax mount together.

Buckhorn ...
ill even go as far as saying when you have those gerry cans on yours im jelous of that rig its one of the best 4 doors ive seen on the forum
i like how its not to high but realy rugged look and theres a different look of the 4 door when you see it from the front im not sure what it is but it looks realy nice when modified not stock like as it comes down a hill realy looks like a military style to it to those with 4 doors , i like my two door over all but if i had iordered a 4 door i could have got rid of the seating and had a lot more room with accessable entry to it rather than climbing in like a salamander to get somthing out of the back . my 2 door rubicon might have a slight advantage in some areas but storage space isnt one of them i like the looks of your set up on the back with cans and rack awsome Click image for larger version
