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.

Very nice, I like the way the winch sits down in the bumper. Any pics from the back to see the winch mounting?

My father in law has a hydraulic pipe bender. The only bad thing is it leaves little dimples on the pipe. I will try to get a pic of the back side tonight. I built the bumper out of 3/16 and boxed in the back out of 1/4.
