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.

.250 would be 1/4" wall. I used 2" .250 Dom on lowers and 1.75" .250 wall on uppers.

Got the rear upper coil mounts cut off the frame. Coilovers will go through body to a crossmember behind the back seat.

14" kings ordered, just waiting for them to be built and shipped.

Got all the factory mounts cut off the front end of the frame. It's the only part of the build I don't enjoy.

Laying on the ground cutting, torching, grinding, etc. Pita!!
