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.

I don't think that hood is going to be very fun for them to cut with bedliner all over it. I would def hold off on that til after its done.

by far the sickest build i have ever viewed.
are you planning on stretching the wheelbase front or rear?
maybe ditching some of the excess frame sticking out in front and behind the jeep for the sake of approach and departure angles

nice your running 42s right? thats what i plan on upgrading to. i plan on stretching the rear wheel base so the tires stick out an inch or two behind the body and suck the bumper in till it sticks out an inch from the body.
i am planning on comp cutting the rear also. is there a kit you are using or all custom?

it's all custom.....the axles are full width's so the goal is to have zero approach and departure as well as a wider footprint.....at the same time keeping the center of gravity as low as possible

This whole build is like my dream, man. I'm glad to see you are coming back from that awful wreck and like you say, making the most bad ass wheel chair money can buy!!! Jeepers are good people and this just shows the kind of awesome Jeep that can be built with a lot of thought and patience. Can't wait to see the cage work and the final product, I check this thread about every other day. Keep up the good work and enjoy it.
