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 New 2012!

So I signed up for this site a while ago when I got a 2008 Wrangler Unlimited and did a couple of things to it, but never posted a whole lot.

I recently traded that in for a 2012 and for some reason feel like being more active now... Just picked it up last night. (Sorry for the crap cell phone pics) Now... time to start. Any suggestions on what to do first? I was thinking a skid plate system and some rock sliders. Suggestions are welcome as I'm very indecisive on things usually.

Small lift and tires would make a huge deference.

What kind of wheeling to you plan to do? Generally I recommend front bumper winch to get started then go from there.

New tires, you can get some Rubi take offs for a decent price. If you plan on wheeling, then I would suggest a suspension lift, then wheel and tires. Congrats on the new ride.

Congrats. Cool color Get a saw and stubby the front bumper, get a set of rock rails, skid plates, and some sway bar disconnects. A set of rubi take-offs and you will be good to go. After that go and see what you will be wheeling most of the time, what your jeep is capable of, and what you want out of your jeep. If you are gonna have it as a daily driver with little or moderate off roading you will want mods that won't kill the street side of your jeep. Plan accordingly to what needs you will need your jeep to fulfill and go from there, but the most important thing to remember is just to have fun.
