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.

Yep, what he said. The dealership I bought it from pretty much said the same thing. They purchased my Rubi from a lease buyback out of California, brought it to Utah then put all the AEV products and lift on it and advertised it as the jeep with the full AEV expedition package and thats how I bought it. So I missed out on half the fun of buying, installing and building it up myself but at least I know it was done right and saved me alot of the headache. Theres still plenty of mods I can buy and do myself. Is a jeep ever done? Now I just dont know if I want to wait for AEV to come out with a rear bumper or just buy something else. I wished I at least had an ETA on that. Maybe I can wait a little longer but I hate not knowing. Anyone hear anything on that?

Congrats on getting that Jeep!
From Triad in PG? If so, I have looked it over well and it's setup nicely.
They do nice work.

Yes it was from Triad. It seemed like a good deal. I had been eyeing it for almost 2 months. He had it for sale at $35,900 and about two weeks ago I saw they dropped the price down to $31,900 so I went to check it out and the next day I offered him $31 flat and he took it. I feel like I got a decent deal for it. So far so good except the CD player decided to stop working last night and I already got some scratches on the hood from my garage door slaming down on the front edge as I was pulling out of my driveway. But a little touch up paint or a princess bandage from my daughter should fix it right up. I would have rather got the scratches from actualy offroading on a trail in the mountains and not in my garage but it could have been worse.

How do you like the 4dr as a family vehicle? I assume you love it with the mod list flowing as it is... haha

Thanks for all the comments,

and yes I love my 4 door JK as a family car. Its fits us all comfortably and both my daugther and wife are loving it. My daughter loves it more then the wife even though she cant get in by her self yet. I know its going to be awesome in the snow. I have a season pass at one of the local resorts but havent had a chance to drive it up the canyon yet. But so far its been a great family car. But I can already tell its going to be a money pit. I sit at work all day looking through pictures on this site and seeing what I can buy for the jeep next.
