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.

Action shots...

"This is 'Lower Forty,' and this JK was created to improve ground clearance without altering the center of gravity. This was not easy, but the result is this outstanding vehicle. It's rolling on 40x13.50-20 tires mounted on 20-inch forged aluminum wheels. A significant amount of the body and fenders were trimmed to provide the room for the tires. It has custom fender flares, a one-piece carbon fiber hood, drop-down tailgate, custom rollcage, 5.7L Hemi engine, Getrag 238 6-speed manual transmission, and Dynatrac-prepped Mopar axles with ARB Air Lockers."

That rig just looks clean and simple. And I can tell you from experience that you need a lot of lift to fit 40's on a production JK.

And is it just me or does this kind of look like the Power Wheels Jeep Hurricane ride-on toy to some degree?? Minus a few details....

I like how the grille's turn signals are inset rather than pushed outward on current JKs. Has more of a classic look IMO.

I bet that they trimmed the pinch seam in front of the rear tire.
