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.

I don't understand people that would buy this. Whatever happened to getting attached to your JK as you mod it along the way. You miss out on all that. Looks nice, but, it's even better when it's your blood, seat, and tears.

They have the exact same one here in Louisville at the dealer...same color and everything. Nice to look at, cheaper to do yourself.

For 60k I can't believe it doesn't have a hemi, an extra 20k for a lift, tires, bumpers/winch and snorkel seems like a lot, especially with 1100 for AEV transportation when the dealership is right in that area

Enclosed transport isn't cheap. York, PA is still pretty far from Wixom. ~8 hours.

But I mean, AEV is a high end company. Not geared toward rock crawler crowd. Also, a lot of that R&D isn't cheap. Plus all the testing they had to do to get cleared by Mopar to use their products. It all adds up and has to come from somewhere.

I wonder how low you could buy it for? Figure 4-5k off MRSP for EP or Tread Lightly discount, which would make it more bearable... I'm surprised to see the 3.5" lift without a new front driveshaft, also did they gusset the front axle for the 35's? If all of this was done properly I'd go for it, but it's not, and still not worth 55k even with discounts.

Man, I just saw a 2013 Rubi 2 dr going for @ $43,000.00 on the lot. I thought that was crazy pricing!

2012 Exhaust Clearance: Installation on a 2012 JK requires a minor exhaust system modification to clear the driveshaft, which can be done at your local exhaust shop. Since this came from AEV, I'd say the modification has already been done. For 2011 - 07, it required a different DS.

The 3.5 comes with JK Geometry Correction Front Control Arm Drop Brackets.
