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.

Gotta love cutting, grinding, drilling and welding on a brand new Rubi with a few hundred miles on it.

Thanks for the pics since I'm not allowed back there with the pros. Damn OSHA.

No, they have run into quite a few issues. The sleeves took way too long, passenger side tube had a slight ridge in it. Made it very difficult. Then they found an issue with the carrier bearings not being pressed correctly. All that is fixed and will get down to business tomorrow. Gussets, sleeves, axle shafts and diff covers are done. Lift, steering stabilizer, rear bumper (don't ask), and TF spare mount left to go.

...and they have to weld my gussets and beat in my axle sleeves. Then we're going night wheelin' at Slade.
