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.

2 week old jeep and i can't stop modifying!!!

Arcticanalog, as far as the four point harness goes I removed the 2 rear bolts that bolt the seat to the floor and attached all four points through there. The shoulder straps run though the headrest posts and down the back of the seat to keep from sliding off the sides of the seat. I plan on getting water proof seat cover in which I'll cut slots into them so the straps can be hidden. I didn't have it in me to cut into the seats. not yet anyway, jeep is only 2 weeks old. The only part I havent figured out is how to turn off the stupid seat belt buzzer. I tried unplugging it under the seat but a light on my dash came on saying it was disconnected. I might pull the fuse but until then I connected the original seatbelt and I have the lap belt tucked into the seat with the shoulder strap across the back. Once again, seat covers will hide all of this. Hope this helps!!!

Thanks for the explanation. I guess I'm rather old corps (as is 99.999% of the Internet, BTW--try searching yourself, which I did before posting my bewilderment): RF means radio frequency, and a search for "capacitator" will end up with the definition of a capacitor.

BTW: I have nearly five decades in the design, engineering, production, installation and maintenance of command, control, communication, computer and intellligence systems. I'm always amused by the lengths to which manufacturers go to distinguish their products. RF. Capacitator.

In RF Capacitor, i thought the "F" stood for Flux.

Ouch ! When someones knees hit that maglite mount. Can you rotate those clamps around so they are not such knee-skinners ?

Looks great ! I need to take a vacation so I can start hitting the new list of mods this damn forum perpetuates.
