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.

Yes sir, actually both of these customs do quite a bit of hunting!! If you don't mind me asking, "what is it about these Jeeps that bother you so much"??

4 inch lift for 35s is a little over kill. Putting heavy tires on stock tire carrier. I see the dual steering stabilizer on one of them.

Did you guys weld some c gussets up or put front drive shafts in. Also what wheel spacers did you use. Does the customer know to check the torque of the spacers every few 1000s miles.

I gotta say, a 4.5" long arm should have a ton of space under the flares with 35" tires. These jeeps seem to sit more like a 2.5" than a 4.5". I saw a Moab on the lot last week. $41k with no lockers? Then you add the dealer $$$ for that set up and install? What are they listing for now? $50k+?

Ripoff IMO... You could build a way nicer Rubi for less than that
