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.

Buyers Remorse, post here if you got it!

4 inch rough country lift does its job but you get what you pay for at 500$. jeep is higher and looks great but is stiff as anything. should have waited, saved more money and gotten a more complete lift.

i dont like mine either after forgetting to put the pin in the handle and it came loose and SMACKED the side of the jeep, resulting in a new fender, $400 in body work and now making a secondary stop so this dont happen again

Honestly? My TF 2.5" coil kit. /duck

There's nothing wrong with it and the ride is great. It just should have been a long arm 4" kit. After bumpers, winch and sliders I didn't gain quite as much as I would have liked.

I had the same exact problem with my jba headers over the past few months, bolts come loose all the time and wires burned up about once a month...got high temp silicone wires and covered them with insulative wrap and got 90 degree spark plug boots just to get the wires as far away from the headers as possible. Used lock tight and high temp bolts and have had no problem for the last two weeks. Next time I have a problem my stock manifolds are going back on, its just frustrating to deal with.

Tuffy underseat security box... My girlfriend got it for me so I don't really have buyers remorse, but installing it was terrible. All there is to do is unscrew two bolts then put in the box then screw the bolts back.... Easy enough? Nope. The box barely fit under the seat after some jamming and scraping. Then the the holes for the bolts didn't even come close to lining up. Finally after getting it in the drawer wouldn't open and close.
Miserable. I wouldn't recommend it.

Seriously? Are you sure you got the correct product? I'm not calling you out...I'm just trying to find out more about your situation. I just installed one of these a few weeks ago in my '09 Rubi. It literally took me ten minutes including wrestling with the OEM bolts. Mine fits flawlessly and works like a dream. Very, very weird.
