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.

Thanks for the positive posts guys!! I agree that these aren't the most "UBER" built JK's on the planet!! Sure, I would loved to have installed some TERA 44's with gears and lockers but, I can only go as far as my customer's wallet and sometimes "wife" will allow!! LOL!!

To the OP, nice job! great looking Jeeps!

Dont sweat Mr. "X" w/ his 285 rubber...He probably has never seen a dirt road. Forum shit talkers are so freaking weak!
If only you knew bud. I have never been off road and never wrenched on my jeep.

^ So why bash these jeeps then? jealous you can't afford these? I personally never understood this. I can understand poking fun at a lil chrome or some 24in rims. But even then they are doing what they want. Live and let live brother.

Yeah I never understood either. Wether you're using it just as a grocery getter, hardcore mud bogger, or waiting for a zombie apocalypse...as long as your appreciating what your driving or enjoying what your driving rather than just buying one as a fad (and even in that case too), have fun with it. And ya know, not everyone lives near an accessible spot to go wheeling.
Heck, I've had my jeep for 2 years now and have only been able to go wheeling twice only because, well for one thing, I live in Jersey not anywhere near a trail and two, I own a trucking business and don't have the time I'd like. Even still, This is my third wrangler in 15 years. There's nothing like owning one....seriously...Nothing! And THAT is the attitude to have. Not nitpicking every detail an' raining down on someone else's parade.
We're all here for fun and enjoying our JK's, no matter how we do it.
I Use to sound like you Tonka-boy but just as the guys who cry "Harley's are the ONLY bike to ride!!!", I realized it was a thought process that didn't deserve any respect.

Well said. If the customers are happy with the build and the price it's a win for both. They look good. Oh and more proof that you don't need a new drive shaft with 4 in lift. Click image for larger version

They are nice, but I think he is speaking with the customer's best interest in mind. We don't know who the owners are or their experience with jeeps, wheeling, or wrenching. If these were built for uninformed customers who took bought brand new offroad-ready jeeps and had a driveshaft failure or the tailgate folds from a heavy spare tire, they are going to take their anger out on the professional who built that Jeep. I don't care what people do with their Jeeps but I regularly see people driving off the lot with dealer built rigs. If they look the part, most people are going to assume they can take the abuse, but they will quickly discover that is not the case.

I think he more or less wants to point out potential weak links so the owner wont be shocked when something breaks.



BTW, attacking someone and calling them a hater is getting real old. Don't say it doesn't matter whether or not someone wheels their Jeep, and than immediately turn around and attack them saying they don't know anything because they have "285 rubber" or they never see dirt. Its contradictory and just makes you look bad.

I have had my 4.5 RE lift on 35's on my Rubi for 3 years and I have had 0 I mean 0 problems off and on road and I drive mine every damn day. Who told you you had to replace drive shafts??? Maybe a shop that wanted to sell you more?? Gotta to love the guys that bash for no reason. Forum tough guys really suck and they just hurt the forum maybe you should waist your time learning a little more and not bashing the guys that are proud of their work. Go to another group of know it all's!!
Good job on the Moab's Look good!!
