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 Finally Done! RC 2.5 + LoD Middy
General Impressions:
My steering wheel is off-center a bit, I need to fix that tonight.
The Mickey Thompsons only ended up being about 32" tall, I had hoped for 33".
The M/T's are quieter than I expected, just a little hum until I hit 70 mph.
3.21 Gearing is not as bad as I expected and the speedo is only off 2-3 mph, I have the Pro-Cal, so I will fix that tonight as well.
The ride seems a bit harsh, but I have but I have not checked air pressure.

Overall, I am quite please with the results! The LoD middy has received lots of positive comments, including from the 4x4 shop that installed it. When I talked to him on the phone he said "Wow, that is a really nice bumper, and it went on with no issues at all, a real quality product!". Nice job LoD!

Default Looks awesome.
The new bumper looks great. I'll see you tomorrow to pick up your old one.
Thanks.

Good luck with that. I was torn between the Shrockworks and the LoD, but my boss said get the LoD, and she IS the boss.

Thanks.
Still a little conflicted about giving it to a UT fan, but I since you are a Titan fan, I will go ahead and give it to you. Important note: Please, please, PLEASE, no Rocky Top tomorrow morning!
