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.

just FYI to those looking to buy it.. it may sway your decision.. its much more than a notch, in my opinion..





its a nice looking bumper. its well built. powdercoating is top notch.

shipping is atrocious, and lies will leave a bad taste in everyones mouth

Forgive the question that might be obvious (I'm not used to hacking up the frame), but from the looks of it I'm guessing you have to cut out a section of the frame "crossmember" to slide the winch plate and bumper towards the front of the Jeep? What happens to the rest of the crossmember? Does it bolt to the bumper on either side of the winch plate? How will (or does it even) that affect the strength of the frame in the rear?

Great questions... I haveno idea. I have a cutting wheel, and zawzall, laying on the floor near the rear bumper, but with non of these questions answered I hvnt cut anything yet. Free weekend and this to do and I'm not doing it... Iv never been this frustrated over something that's suppose to be fun
