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.

lol yeah...I did all those mods with nothing but a cordless drill with relatively small bits. I really could have benefited from a dremel, larger bits, and a few other tools.

I figure I can find some sort of rubber grommet to stick in there though.
