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.

Thanks for the compliment. Mine is on the left. On the right belongs to an old USAF friend of mine who, after I took him to Moab, wanted to build one exactly like mine. Except his is a '12, so there are some notable differences (he has an AEV rack since MBRP didn't have one for that year, for example). He lives in WA, but we still get together for runs--sometimes both our Jeeps, sometimes just one. That let's the other serve as photographer for the trip, which is really a lot better for making videos.

Default yeh i was refering to yours with the gerry cans and rack s

thats one of the best ones ive seen on line has a nice stance and ride height it all works nicely togeather , im not a big fan of 4 doors but the way yours is set up i am lol must be all the weight that brings it lower again from being lifted but i like that not showing to much wheel well tires look right for it

Spotted this the other day in Boulder. Looks like a great space-saving way to store some extra gas. As a bonus, it fits behind oversized tires (35" I believe). Anyone have an idea who makes this item? Better yet, anyone own one and have a user's opinion?

Thoughts on Jerry cans vs rotopax for expedition? I'm making a list of things I'm going to need and the rear bumper im looking at (LoD) can be set up with either. Wanted to see what the expedition community thinks.

Depends on the state...old jerry cans cannot be sold without a ridiculous nozzle to meet carb requirements. If you can find some old ones is probably your be route...

Personal preference. I like the traditional Jeep look, which is why I have jerry cans and no LED lights. But that's just me. Friend of mine (white JK in my vids) has the AEV rear bumper and a Rotopax, but carries jerry cans on his trailer. He has stuck with non-LED lights, however. It is a nice looking rig. I do have to paint the cans on occasion or they turn pink, LOL.

I use a siphon hose and avoid the nozzle.

I like the rotopax so far. You won't be stuck to one mounting solution, can stack them, lock them, have different mounting places, etc...
