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 New 2012 Black Rubicon

Just picked up my 2012 Rubi from the dealer yesterday (Pics on the way) and I just joined this forum...... Any recommendations for what my first mods should be?

Congrats! Well considering your user name....

I would get the following:

VHT Nite shade for side markers/front orange lights - tail lights is up to you (may be illegal depending on where you live)
Black Gas cap
Black Rugged Ridge Tail light guards
Black Rugged Ridge front Euro Guards (go over head lights)
Black out Jeep emblem in front (spray paint will do)
Black Rims
Bedline interior hard top from white to black
Tint windows
Take off silver pieces on bumper (if they came with them) - they are worth some $$$ so keep them
LASTLY: simple mod - "gutter guard" mesh grill inserts. cheap mod and looks good - plenty of write-ups on here

That should be a good start!! good luck my friend

Before you do a lift, get Teraflex's exhaust spacer kit.

Congrats and welcome!

Huh? Do we need that on the 12's? I just picked up my 2.5 TFlex Coil lift but have not installed.

Default Congrats

I'd love to see those pics, and let us know what kind of gas mileage it gets.
