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.

The back rear section is nicely triangulated and has several connection points with the bracing. The front section only has the one tube going across. It would be logical to make the same amount of triangulation on one side as the other.

yes there will be more added to the main (front) section of the frame that will tie into the cross member. A third rear bump may be there.

these are pictures are of where the coil-overs come up through the tub, also pix of the "storage" area cut out where we decided to put the fuel cell, also the trussing done to make it stronger....he's started the roll cage today and started taking the dash apart...by getting most of the roll cage done we will be able to mount the coil-overs and have the rear standing on it's own
