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.

Im contemplating chopping off the ends and making it a stubby for the front. I keep going back and forth on that one. Ill probably keep the bumper as is for a bit then decide.

The mopar bumpers were on the jeep already when I bought it, which was a plus because it saved me some cash not having to buy new ones... but the front isnt want i would have picked had I been buying them new. Im more partial to the stubby look hence the idea of chopping off the ends. Ive seen another member here who did that mod and it looked awesome!

Yeah, I guess I could give that a shot. As long as I was able to get close to enough for the bumper Id really like. Good advice, thanks.

And thanks to all for the complements.... Ive been reading as much on this forum lately as possible to try and educate myself on my new JK. I used to have a TJ... and foolishly sold it a few years ago. Never should have done that, but Im loving my JK now so all is good.
