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.

Wow, that looks like it was built by an aftermarket company or something! I'm curious what a rough parts cost would be to fab something like that?

Thanks bro, it cost 75 for the tire kit and about 80 for the plate (3/16) and 2x2 (1/8 wall) then 200 for powdercoating (a little too much).

Yes I liked the lines of the smittybilt, but put some special touches of my own like the cross and spad.
