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 Build Thread - 2012 JKUR

I guess it's about time to post a build thread...

The day I brought her home:


I sold my 2010 JKU - Mountain Edition about 2 months before I got this one... before I let it go, I took a few things off of it that I wanted to keep.
Here is the grille insert:


After that I took off the doors and installed my American Outlaw mirrors:

Default Lift time!

Got my 4" Teraflex lift kit installed:
Before:


After:


With the 2012's you have to install either the AFE Y-pipe or the Teraflex exhaust spacers. I chose to do the spacers and modify the exhaust when I do a CAI.

Thanks for the compliments!
The next set of tires I get are going to be 35" KM2s with black Mickey Thompson Classic II's. After I run those I may or may not move to 37s... depends on how she does with the 35s. This is my DD so I've got to keep it reasonable.
