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.

Let's see your racks!

Cargo racks that is. I'm looking at putting a full cargo rack over the roof area for my 2dr. If you would post a picture and state the brand name and any pros and cons I would appreciate it. Thanks

It's a thule feet with utility bars. You can add a basket, but I use mine for ladders, fishing rods, etc. When I dont need them I simply remove the bars and put covers on the boots.

Looks good but I don't think that will work too well on my soft top.

Here's my Warrior Products Safari Rack. The 2 door version is just shorter. Nice thing about this rack is the basket can be removed and the front and rear bars left in place. They have tabs for 4 lights in the front and 2 in the rear if needed. The only downside is that the rack does not tilt out of the way to drop a soft top, but I've found I can remove mine pretty easily without taking the rack off. Putting it back on is more of a challenge, but still doable.

No basket:

close up by the top:


Rear mounting points where you drill into the body, but I just put RTV around it to seal it and it's been great. I'll be adding corner guards at some point as well and will make it that much stronger.


empty:


Full, I've set it up to carry as many as 7 bikes:

Here is the 2-dr version of the Warrior rack. Like scouter4life said working the soft top with the basket on could be a little difficult since it doesn't tilt. Most of the time my basket hangs in the garage, it is light weight and comes on and off pretty easily.

Empty



Loaded



The rear light tabs make for a good place to mount a Hi-Lift up out of the way.
