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.

Here is a horrible picture I tried to take from the bottom looking up....I couldn't lower it off tha lift cause a jack is supporting the drivetrain until they make the crossmember

Yea well.....that's fabrication for ya ....what happened is I was a little delayed on ordering some crusher corners (cause I hated all of the brands designs) then I found out EVO changed theirs around a bit so I ordered and it's gonna take 2 months for delivery (cause they are custom preferences) ...so the good news is they will be here in 2 weeks and he'll be hitting the fun stuff like the comp cut. That's jus an example of some of what causes set backs.....but she'll be worth the wait

Default Progress!

Great to see you moving ahead. Years ago I was putting together a CJ5 and my job took me outta town for a month right in the middle of the final assembly. It just killed me, but I had more money in my pocket when I got home and it all came together in the end.

Any idea how far into the passenger compartment it goes? Are they going to have to do anything to the seat when they cover the hole?

Hit the nail on tha head, we have a contract for July 31st

from that angle I was looking up at the driver side kick panel, the factory seats aren't going back in, he'll be making the brackets for the PRP seats so adjustments will be made

This is the new cross member/skid plate in progress



and here is the requested picture of the hole that had to be cut in the floor board so the Atlas could be mounted level
