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.

Very clean for sure. If I had your talent I would mount the shackle mounts from the back and fab a skid that ran down to the bash bar to hide it.

Also including this post and others you have done, your photo skills are also very good.

So how long did it take you?

How did you coat the shackles blue? Did you paint them? I have been looking for blue shackles with not much luck.

Big A : Thanks!

Dylanjam77 : Yeah I'm excited about the fogs. Hoping to maybe weld a beauty ring on and a grill.

aldaman : Of course! This was a temp rush to put it on because I was rushing to be in a parade. The Jeep club attended our local parade. Was Cool!

pearl-drum-man : Yup Yup! Thanks!

lijeepguy : I'm actually going to weld them straight to the bumper here in stage 2 Thanks!

blockrokin : Thank You!

Wes : I actually bought a used set of 5 shackles on ebay. They were chipped and scratched so I got so new paint and repainted them. They may not hold up that well but I baked them under heat lamps for several hours while spraying so we will see.

bosscj351 : LOL thats what my dad was saying. "The one you were looking at was $300 and you just made it!" LOL

RocksHurt : Thanks!

thefrohn : Thank You! I also did my rear but it was my first attempt and inst nearly as nice as this but better than the stock one.

wiredawg mg : Yeah The shackle mounts will be welded straight to bumper in stage 2 and I'm going to work on a bolt on skid plate that mounts behind bumper and covers bash bar. I love doing photography. Used to have access to a nice Canon 5D but not anymore so its hard to get good stuff. Total man hours was probably only 5. Alot of waiting for liner to dry and baking.

DRJZ1974 :

Geeper4x4 : Thanks!
