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 guys, i used some 1/8" aluminum. the tools are a must, fortunately for me i've been helping a friend of mine restore his airstream travel trailer from scratch so in exchange he's taught me how to weld and fabricate and machine and allows me to use his shop at my leisure. so i'm always building stuff now for my el camino but now i'm gonna start building some stuff for the jk. i would like to lift it before i fabricate my undercarriage armor, and then i'd like to build a nice rear bumper and sliders, but in all do time. the light brackets for a first crack at i'd say they are ok. i will be 100% honnest, the holes made to mount to the windshield are a bit bigger just for the sake of lining things up right. i wasn't off by much, maybe a 1/16 on one of the holes, so luckily i punched them out at 5/16"

Great job! But can you flip the upside down. Maybe even add dual antenna mounts?
