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.

Cool can't wait to see it. Are they that hard to put on?

Took John and I about 4.5 hours to do the front two. This doesn't count the trimming of the liners and the turn signals. I haven't done those yet. Will have to do the rears another day.

Matt, I have ordered my '13 rubicon as well and was going to do an offroad evolution long arm and a RK lift kit combination.

However, the more I dig and read about metalcloak, the more I want to get the game changer with their high clearance fenders and sliders!!

I would be very interested in an honest review from you once you get the kit.

I am impressed by MC with doing something different that seems to be based on sound engineering and not just based on what has been done in the past. They stand behind their products and the instructions are the most detailed I have every seen (and I have installed rubicon express, PSC, rock hard,PSC, tereflex, etc parts).

Sometimes things take way longer than you expect. We worked a lot slower since the flares had just been painted and it feels a little weird drilling holes in a Jeep that nice. Thought we'd get all 4 flairs on and the wheel rings done today.

Here's Matt drilling into his new 40-something thousand dollar Rubi. Note the massive 42" IROK he's leaning on.

Yeah, he's building it for the malls. Only six months 'til Black Friday. Seriously, the 37" MTZ's on beadlocks are going on soon or so I hear.

My wife said it looked strange but that was an understatement! Too funny.

Right now, strange is a compliment. It has Psc front flares, no back flares, 16" pizza cutters and Honda tires, an off road bumper and winch. That is an odd setup.
