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?

Can't really say I fab'd it up because it is just a 1/8 plate steel with a 90 degree bend. Had a metal shop bend it for me. I notched the side to fit the Evo d ring mounts. I got the idea from another forum member who cut up a piece of 3 x 5 square tube and used that. I couldn't find one of those in Hawaii so I went this way instead. It worked out well. I then cut four 1 1/4 holes to fit the gen right led lights for reverse lights. Here are some more pictures.

This is next on my list. It's a lot of work but build it how you want it.

What do you all think about them.

Ok, you have pushed me over the edge. Buying a welder. How many years will it take me get stuff looking this good?
