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.

29"x40" base, 17 1/2" tall post in the middle. The piece separating the doors at the top is 9" wide.

Everything else from the depot:

-4 wheels
-door weather strip (believe it was sold as a pack of two), doors rest on these
-4 rubber feet (goes at the top to separate wood from the door)
-3 stainless steel angle brackets
-1 door hinge

It doesn't show in the picture but on one side of the "T" post at the base I put a door hinge on one side, angle bracket on the other. This way I can fold down the "T" and store it on its side in the garage. 2 angle brackets up top.



Hope this helps!

Not to hijack,but in answer to your vendor question (sig) ;vendors support the forum,members support them,they make stuff we need & want.Think "family"

Thanks, man. I was just browsing through my new Quadratec catalog (they've really upped the ante on the babe factor) and saw one of these for $165. I immediately thought about making one and searched the forum for info. Came across your write-up as the first hit. I really appreciate you sharing this!
