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.

that is sick I love it what happened to the snorkle was there something you did not like about it? I have been thinking about getting one, but realistically I have very little need and do not want to sacrafice MPG and performance.

I'll keep the snorkel handy if there is potential of using it, but until that time comes, no need for it to be on my jeep.
well ive herd that if u wheel in alot of dusty sittuations and u were to buy the prefilter it would help ur engine breath better.

sweet pics though
