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.

Fabbed up some rear axle mounts out of 1/4" plate for coilovers. Still waiting on my tires and wheels to make sure it all clears before I finish weld them. Also need them to set wheelbase so I can notch the frame and weld the towers in.

More waiting on parts.

Got the frame notched. Towers and gussets are welded in. Rear is pretty much done.

Started building a new rear bumper while I'm waiting on more parts. Nothing too fancy, just high clearance and some shackle tabs.

Built out of 2x4 tubing .250 wall.
