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?

Installed Dynatrac Progrip big brake kit, what a difference that has made!

Do those come with the wiring harnesses and relays? Could they be hooked up to an sPod?

They do not come with the harness. I contacted Rigid as my intention is to mount 1 set in my fog light brackets. I was told I will need to order DTP2 Deutsch connectors off Amazon. These can be wired to an sPOD but have a 3rd wire to light the backlighting. This will require an extra switch to activate then.

Thanks for going with Dynatrac! We're happy (but unsurprised!) you noticed the major improvement our ProGrip system makes! What kinds of fun do you have with your Jeep?

Thank you for confirming this for me. It is exactly what I thought would have to be done, including the extra switch for the backlighting.

If it doesn't look like it'll come together then she'll go to CL for someone else to use.
karls10jk,
here are some pics that hopefully will answer your question. If you were wondering as to if the hard top can be removed with this rack than the answer is yes. Here are some pics. Good luck.

Now that looks great! Was wondering how it'd look with the top off. Do you have to remove the rack to take the top off or does it tilt back??

No, I don't have to remove the rack to remove the roof. The rack is permanently mounted to the Jeep. I slide the roof straight back when the tail gate is open, there is just barely enough room so I gotta watch my fingers as to not pinch them

Yep, that's perfect, thank you. I've got only soft tops but I need to recreate the mounts so it mounts to the bumper. The included mounts don't touch the frame with my current bumper and I'm not sold on drilling the body for it.

Do you get wind noise with the rack? I'm planning on this being my summer kayak rack and it'll go back into storage for the winter.
