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.

I've had my Jeep for almost 2 years now and I'm finally getting ready to make some big changes! I've got a few things already on it but it still basically looks and preforms like a stock JK.

What's done:

2.5 in Teraflex coil lift
Teraflex tuned Elka Reservoir shocks
LoD Mid Width Front Bumper with skid plate

...and probably more I'm forgetting.

To do:

Future plans:

Artec truss and C gussests
Poison Spyder RockBrawler II Rear Bumper (no tire carrier) (on order)
Flat Fenders or Factory Trim
Some sort of cage
lockers
TrekTop
EVO Protek Skids
Regear
Air tank for compressor
...And who knows what else!

I will definitely post pictures of the progress from now on. I'd post pictures now but I think everyone knows what a stock JK looks like.

I think I might be...Everything is still piled up in the garage! But I've been working like crazy and need to still get a few more tools too so I can tackle it all at once and make it easier. Plus I'm waiting for my buddy to get back in town to give me a hand on a few things.

Default Another checked off of the install list!

Finished the sPOD install this morning, got everything mounted up last night and connected my Rigid amber fogs and driving lights on the A pillar this morning. Super easy install (although it was odd cutting a perfectly good wiring harness), it will make wiring in the future much easier.
