Notices
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.

What was done to your JK this week?

Default Home made rear plate holder.

I fab'd a rear tire carrier plate holder. I had some scrap metal so I made a bracket inside the stock tire carrier that attached to a air hose quick disconnect. It works great!

Can you tell me how long you made the handles themselves? I feel like i made mine to long and yours seem to be the length im looking for

Why do you still have the old TieRod they will swap that design out for you with the stronger bar and better designed jam nuts instead of the clamps. Its covered under their warranty for it. Unlike the drag link which I wound up paying another $200 bucks to fix. Give them a call.
