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?

If you decide to get one check out the Teraflex video on the install.
Do you notice any flex or bend in the rear door?

None. It is rock solid. The one thing they say to do in the video, and I believe it helped me avoid issues, is to place wood blocks under the tailgate (with it closed) resting on the back bumper. Do this before you unscrew anything. That way when you put the carrier on the tailgate is aligned. Once tighter down.... I have yet to see any movement.

Again, only had it on for a short period of time, but so far very impressed.

Hope that helps.

This looks good, what brand of beadlocks are those? Also, how are you getting that finish to look like its anodized is it painted?

I have these same mirrors on my tube doors works great and they are always on them.
