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.

Made my own lightbar!

What IPF lights are those specifically? I love this lightbar, it looks amazing. I had a ton of lights on my old Tahoe, and seeing this is giving me the itch for more candlepower on the Jeep...

That turned out amazing. I really want to take a welding class because I have so many ideas that I want to do. Homemade rear bumper and tire carrier, light bar, new front bumper, all sorts of things. I want to start fabricating all of the stuff myself. Save some money and know that I made everything on my jeep.

it took a good few long days to get everything done, and that was with some help from more experienced people. There is no rattling what so ever its really sturdy, you can shake the whole jeep with it.

they are the IPF 968's but the new model which comes with those black grilles, the older ones just came with the white caps.

no problem seeing any lights, it doesnt really block any view at all, it looks pretty cool from the inside.

Once again... lots of folks on this forum have some serious talent. Light bar looks just kick ass... love how the lights are under the top bar and how they sit. Looks great.

It looks great! Please feel free to send me one if you get the urge to make another.

I do really like how the lights are mounted to keep it lower profile. Can you take a pic from the inside looking out for us?

If this is your result for an "intro to welding" class, then maybe you should take up welding as a vocation. You certainly have the skill. Great job.

looks badass, great job. Shocked you are in Canada though, I figured with the Christmas lights you had to be from the South like me.
