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.

Rubicon23, no, I really don't see anywhere to mount it under the hood that I would be happy with. It will probably end up under the rear tub, with a snorkel tube popped into the interior.

Will need to use this after the gearing change- wouldn't be any fun to drive around in limp mode!

That's one way to spend I'm saying ball park 90-100k including the Jeep itself.

Where did you get your bumpers and fenders painted? Also, what where the bumpers painted with?

Bumpers are from Poison Spyder Customs. I will probably sell the rear set up. I ended up ordering the tire carrier from Off Road Evo, and won't run a rear bumper. I think it will better accommodate the 40" spare tire. Just my preference.
The bumpers are just painted with a poly urethane- easy touch up. My painted used gloss black, then put some additive to make it matte black. Looks flat, but with a little sheen, not like primer.

Love this wheel and tire combo, Walker Evans always look great.

I can tell there is something different about them, just can't put my finger on it?

DDHowell, maybe the fact that they are 20" are throwing you off?

Rubicon23, that's exactly what I was thinking. Thats why I haven't mounted it yet, waiting for the EVO Lever to show up so I can lay everything out.
Is that your rig? If so, did you remote the air intake?
