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.

Default Busy Month of Mods!

I've added a bunch of fun stuff to the Jeep in the last couple months, and finally had a chance to take some pictures.

First off, here are some new stickers:








In the last couple pictures, you can see the back-up lights I installed. Made the mounts myself, and ran cabling into the cab to a switch.


I had a new muffler put in, it's a Flowmaster 80 Series Dual Exhaust.





Added the IPF headlights that Northridge was offering as a package deal. These things are great! Basically plug and play, with a big light upgrade and better looking lamp.





The bulb you see on the right is a clear strobe bulb. I have clear strobes in both front headlights, and one in each brake lense at the back.

Installed the AEV snorkel!




Added the dual battery kit from Benchmark Designs




Installed LED rock lights. They are called Tantrum LED Strobes. 6 small waterproof "pods" that connect to a controller. I leave them set to all-on, but it can do fancy strobe and blinking stuff if you want too. Comes with a wireless keychain so you can activate it in the parking lot to find your jeep

Pics are in daylight, but it looks good at night. I'll try and add some night shots later.










Mounted a 5.11 Tactical Flashlight on the soundbar.





This is the charger for it. Charges up in 90 seconds from fully dead, and lasts for a few hours. No batteries!



Finally, added a laptop mount to the Jeep.




Thanks for looking, and I'm happy to answer any questions!

Here's a couple videos showing how the new muffler sounds.. The mic on the camera distorts a little when it gets loud, so that's the sound you are hearing.

this is really starting to look like a 'zombie outbreak' vehicle. Hows that delta light bar on the hood? Any glare?

Honestly? It's horrible.

It hardly gives any light, and the light it does give glares off the hood.

BUT it works awesome as a shovel mount!

I just ordered 2 amber strobe bulbs the other day. I plan on putting them in 2 of the Delta lenses.

Here's a video for the front strobes, and one for the rear. They don't show up all that well, the camera kind of freaks out and doesn't really show the lights.. just a blinding flash of light.. oh well, here they are anyway.
