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.

Loving every bit of this! I was actually looking at that louver too. In the rain would everything be fine considering the vents would let water flow through?

Thanks to everyone for the nice comments.
The winch is good for 9500lbs, it just looks big because it is a Warn Powerplant which also has an air compressor built into the unit as well.
I also plan on install a ARB twin air (pictured) that will be my primary air source for the ARB lockers and such. The when the group is airing up, I'll run both to help speed up the process.

For the Poison Spyder front bumper, you didn't weld it? On their website they show you have to weld their bumpers to the JK chassis. Did you bypass that requirement by merely drilling hols and bolting it, instead? I ask because that's quite innovative and I have been looking into Poison Spyder front bumpers.

Is this ARB dual air compressor going under the hood?

RN M OVR, PSC has a few different bumpers, but this one, BFH, was bolt on. I did have to cut off the crash bar cross member, and cut 2" off the frame rails. But that can be done easily with a grinder and a cut off wheel. It was harder getting the stock plastic stuff off than it was installing the bumper.
