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.

Thank you, I can pull in just far enough to get the rear end under the eve, but when the rear wheels hit the 2" level concrete it wants to hit. I am pretty sure the Craftsman garage door opener can be adjust to pull up further towards the motor but haven't had a chance to check.

Thanks dude and you're right the 37's have been itching the brain since the day I bought the 35's, little at a time though because when I do 37s, I'm doing cmoly shafts front/rear along with gears, probably 4.88s Vs. 5.13s.

Hey Sas,

Could you tell me how far from the roof the highest point of the rack sits?

Thanks!

I think it looks awesome! Will be curious to know what kind of hit the fuel economy takes.

Thanks Justin, piece of cake for the top switch, calling you and Raina over for grill/margaritas and you and I can lift/switch it on

Thanks Pearl, dude you and me both, but honestly it has such a lower profile than most I figure it won't be bad, but it is 90 lbs (80 f/rack w/front insert and 10 lbs for ladder) so yeah oh well I really don't care I need it.

Beautiful. Absolutely perfect. Gots to have one now. I was debating between this one and the Wild Boar, but after seeing it on your Red Rock, I'm sold.

Thanks Robin and D1, I've been debating for over a year which one and glad I was patient, not my norm.

Thank you, the RUBICONS come standard with 4:10 gears so I'm still running those for now with the 35s and still use 6th gear, only going up big bridges do I have to go in 5th gear....or if you're fighting 60mph winds during Hurricane Ike on the hwy I had to use 4th gear I think

Dude show her the pics she'll give you a green light to go buy one
