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.

Here's one w/ the fairing. Apologies for taking so long....

If you want some additional angles, I promise to be quicker.

Edit: actually I'm going out of town w/o the JK :( I'll be back on 1/2/07

buy a hitch extension. they come in varying lengths. Just be aware it lowers your overhaul hitch load rating.

Does anyone have a Yakima rack on a JK yet? Also, is anyone selling any racks, I am in the market for snowboard racks for the JK.

I have a Yakima rack, the generic rain gutter feet will work. I had to remove some rubber shims to get them to fit -- I'm not sure if this is by design, since I got the rack from someone on craigslist.

Here's a pic on flickr (there are a couple of other angles on there as well):

Thanks for the info. :toung: I'll have to check out the unlimited rain gutters more carefully and swap out the old ford explorer feet on the Thule rack for the even older saab turbo gutter mounts. It's better than drilling into the new freedom top and mounting artificial rain gutters. I already have all the parts.

Ciao! Ted

Thanks :toung: for the suggestion on the Thule old school standard gutter feet with the umlimited freedom top, I tried it out today and it works great, there are alot more mounting options than available on my TJ because of the extra lenght and width!!! Sweet, no need to drill and use artificial gutters. I did have to remove the protective rubber booties inside the std gutter mounts to get it to fit, similar to the guy with the Yakima setup...

Ciao!

Ted

The carrier is rather large and the ski/snowboard rack is small. But it's all from stuff I already had and did not need to purchase, so I am very happy to be able to reuse everything on the new JK. There are lot's of options due to the increased width and length of the unlimited freedom top.....

From Thule's website feet recommended for the 2007 Unlimited:

OPTION 1 | ROOF MOUNT SYSTEM BASE PRODUCT
300 Gutter Foot Pack | LB58 Load Bar

$190 for the bars and feet.....
