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.

Are you doing all the work yourself or are you sending her off to a shop?

I will be doing the bumpers, sliders, winch, skids, lights, cb, etc. A shop is doing the sleeves, gussets, ball joints, drive shafts, and the lift. This will be the first one I have not done everything myself but the lift and install is a package deal. I can't talk specifics, but I'm coming out better paying for lift and install than I would be just buying the kit. So, while I'm there, they are doing all the driveline and axle stuff too.

Thanks. Tire went on no problem. The top bead appears to be the bigger challenge. But that's what my BMFRH (rubber mallet) is for.

I don't think you mentioned what lift you plan to put on? What bumpers ? Etc...
