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.

Finished. There are a pair of straps to secure the fridge to the slide.

Now to finish the install of the interior rack--tomorrow ...
Very nice!.. Looking forward to the rest of the install..
Does the Nutserts require a special tool to install? Where do you buy these?

Not easily. But, it really was difficult even before when fully loaded, just more difficult now. However, I can reconfigure the Jeep basically back to the way it was such that if running top off, no expedition gear load, storage cubbie is normally accessible. Here it is with the rack install finished ...

I have been waiting to see how this turned out since I first saw your blueprint. Looks exactly how u drew it up, great job so awesome! One question, can u pull the fridge out by itself or does the to storage drawer automatically slide out with it?

The fridge slides out independently. The drawer is encased, so its shell is stationary.

Is it pretty easy to fully remove the drawer/tracks for times when you don't need it? Really like the setup for Expedition use but seems to cut down on storage for daily driving use (off it's not removable)
