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.

So what's up with axles? I notice no brackets. I feel so inadequate now.

we're doing a double triangulated 4-link in the rear (as compared to the standard 4-link) and either a triangulated 4-link with a panhard bar or also double triangulated in the front

Seems that this will be a one of a kind as no one has put full hydro or 16" coilovers under one correct?

So is this going to be for offroad only then? Double triangulated front ends generally still need a panhard bar for the street. Which full hydro system? I have not seen any that are fast enough for street driving. Looks to be a pretty awesome build eitherway.

It would be near impossible to fight the forces of a triangulated four link with the addition of a panhard, you would blow joints out all the time.
Double in the rear and single up front, no panhard. I believe it is Howe hydro, it shouldn't have a problem keeping up.

It will be daily driven....and I wasn't a 100% on what style susp. set up will be in the front....

What he said ...It is Howe Hydro kit, and single up front.
