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.

I envy you. Someday down the road this is what I will be doing.

First you gotta move to Colorado Bri! Tons of back country to ski and nobody using it. A lot of the trails are closed in winter though, and rightly so as they are treacherous, but there are still many safe, unregulated areas to explore.

Also I have hung a cot inside the JK for solo trips, and i plan on making a storrage/sleeping platform in the spring.
Sweet, but I worry about Carbon Monoxide. I actually have a battery operated CO detector I bring along - highly recommend!. I use propane catalyst heaters, but am working on a radiant system where tubing is run under the tent mattress, with a copper loop exchanger heated by an outside log fire or propane. So far I have only acquired the parts...still have to assemble and test. Problem is running the pump all night, but trailer has dual batteries with solar charging and I'm not running the fridge in winter. Also my plumber friend says I need a regulator/thermostat, so I need his expertise to set up. Zodi used to make an outside tent heater but can't find it anymore. Worth the effort though...Nothing is worse than freezing your arse off.

You have the perfect setup! By the way, nothing like the stone white color.

Very nice pictures! The RTT would make a big difference in the winter. That must be a nice way to keep you off the ground.

Odd question...... Do you rotate your trailer tires into your jeep rotation schedule? I've always rotated all 5 (including the spare). Seem like if you had seven identical wheels/tires, you could rotate your way to a lot of miles.

These are the jeeps that need to be in commercials.... They wouldn't be able to keep them on the lots if people knew the potential of these machines....
