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.

Well, i was a little board last night and didn't have anything planned for today, so here is What I've been up to: Sanded and bedlined the hinges, installed a new parking brake handle, and am in the process of installing a 1-1/4 Rough Country body lift. Pictures will follow when I am done.

That was what I did on my last 2 days off. In between some Jameson and some Miller Lites.

If you install the 1-1/4 Rough Country body lift, even if you trim the maximum of inner boot, during the cold weather, the inner/outer boot gets hard and it will pop up to neutral sometime. I tried it, and I removed it for a 1" body lift: just perfect

Read my write-up, you will see how much I trimmed the inner boot, and it's still not working at 100% in very cold temp.

BTW, I like the black hinges. I have the same color, and I'll do it next Spring

Do you also have a spring lift ? If not why did you go with the BL only ? Just want to know, been looking into some type of lift myself.

Optus, I used dupli color bed liner bought at Wal-Mart. Wmcvey, I don't only have a bl, I also have a 3" Black Diamond Suspension lift. All of which I installed on the floor of the Garage Mahal. I am running 35x12.50 R17 BFG KM/2's with Terraflex wheel spacers.
