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 The evolution of my JK....

First off, hold the comments- I know I am nuts but it has been a fun experience so far. And luckily my wife doesn't see the bills...... Thanks to this board I have been able to sell many of the parts I swapped out and I calculated things, I am about a net $500-$700 in the hole versus just going with today's model right away. Unfortunately a JK is not like a pair of pants you can't just try them on in the store. That's why this board is so good, chances are if you can imagine it someone already has that model/ modded JK..


I got my JK back in Mid March 08..

Version 1.1
Nitto Terra AT 33's, Pro Comp Wheels, and 2" Skyjacker BB




Version 2.3
Hankook 35" MT's, OME HD lift, ARB Linexed accessories, Lightforce lights, tint




Version 3.0
AEV Argent Pintler Wheels, AEV Front Bumper, Warn 95.ti winch, 1" teraflex front coil spacer, Mopar Enhanced Rock Rails, stock rear bumper, IPF 900 lights, AEV Corner Guards, AEV Heat Reduction Hood and AEV Snorkel



Version 3.3
removed: Softtop, 35" Hankook Dynopro's and 2" OME HD Lift
added: Hardtop, 37" BFG KM2 and 4.5" Clayton Hard Arm Lift


I could show wayyyyyyy more photos but you can just see them here in order:

Hard Top
37" BF Goodrich tires
Nth Degree lift

You are officially insane. To think, all of this because I decided to buy a JK last January. If you were trying to one up me...you succeeded long ago.

I really really like the stage 2.3 lighting setup!

Hey buddy I love the Jeep! Just wanted to know what front bumper that is.
I'd really appreciate it if you helped me out.
Thanks!

I feel ya'... I put a small 2" lift on it thinking that I wouldn't want to do anything extreme, but I'm already thinking about adding a couple more inches and 35's. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to save until next year before I buy any more toys. This thing is probably one of my most expensive habits to date...

why did you remove the a/m rear bumper in ver 2.3 and put the stock one back on in ver 3.0?

3 reasons.
1. It had linex on it and would look odd by itself
2. I wanted to keep in line with the AEV look
3. I want to sell the old ARB bumpers as a set. It is a good deal for someone
