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.

Default My baby's growing up with a Rusty's 2" lift...

Just put on my 2" lift, shocks, and Northridge 4x4 swaybar links today. Took about 4 hours at the auto shop on Fort Lewis. All I have is crappy phone pics, will shoot some more later on this week. Only one problem with the install, cross threaded a new swaybar link end, but put the stockers back on the rear until I get a replacement end. I am leaving the center caps off the wheels, I think the wheels look better without them.

Brand new:



33's no lift:



33's and 2" of lift:

Looks great armycop. I didn't realize you were at Ft. Lewis. I used to live out that way. Miss that area....

I was going to mount up my PSC evap skid, but it got to be dinnertime and I was tired of wrenching. I am going to put it up on the lift this weekend, check the torque on everything and throw on the skid and my Drake grille inserts. they are supposed to get to my house Friday

Looks great! Did you have you use spacers when you were running 33's without the lift?

Just wanted to add that 33s with a 2" BB on a 2Door looks really good IMO. Maybe some 34s but that's about it.
