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.

Default Suddenly the 'coolest Dad ever'

Took the doors off, roof off and went from nerd IT Dad to cool Dad. Pulled next to Hummer and girls chanted, "you are a dummer, you bought a Hummer.". He was not amused

First time Jeepers: I really can't describe how cool it is to ride with top & doors off. My new favorite thing.

Only disappointment was not being able to 're-locate' electric mirrors from door. Did not see that coming. So, I guess I have to by another set to use with re-location brackets?!

It is a great feeling.

As for the mirrors, just get a Harley Davidson mirror and stick it in your top hinge when the doors are off.

I would think the mirrors would have plugs that easily disconnect. This is the problem with jeep get to be to nice. J/K.

I agree 110%!! You feel so cool when driving the Jeep topless/ doorless.. That being said, I use the Olympic mirrors from Qadratec when the doors are off.. They cost about $60 for the pair and do the trick.. At highway speeds they vibrate a bit but I just reach out and grab it to steady it when needed.. Have fun Super Dad!!

Love driving doorless and topless with my son! He wants a Jeep now, he's 13, so i think he and I will find one and build it up. We still have 3 years!! I also went to Harley and got the mirrors for the top door hinge. $20, I think. Don't bother getting a passenger side one. You can't really see and you won't need it. The driver side is perfect! Get LONG stem ones.

Seriously? That works? I've been wanting to utilize that hinge, but have been surprised that all after market kits attach to the windshield.

Yea, it works. Just keep it bolted on! I haven't experienced any high speed rattle with mine either!

DONE. Driving to Bartell's tomorrow! (I like that most 4 wheel parts places are closed on the weekends because they wheel...However, every Sunday I've geared myself up for whatever else I want to buy!)
