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.

very curious to see the build up begin! especially for us x owners to see how you are going to wheel the new jeep and push the d30 around.



any plans on swapping out some parts with your rubi and vice versa?

well, with the rubi getting a dynatrac 60 front and running on 40" tires, we'll most likely try to keep this one a little more modest.... or, at least for a while. don't know for sure but we'll most likely get her up on a 3" lift and 35's in the very near future.

Nice color choice Eddie I cannot wait to see it built, looks like you are going to need some more 60's
i wish but i'll need to get some parts first. more than likely, i'll be throwing on some stickers and yanking off the factory airdam and swapping out the front bumper with something i already have.

good luck! cant wait to see how this one turns out
LOL!! it is definitely "cute" and surprisingly zippy around town. our rubi is such a beast that i forgot how peppy the jk was stock.

it really was nuts and not what i was expecting. truth be told, i hate haggling and dealing with salesmen and all my other jeeps have always been purchased through private sellers (used) or through costco's no haggle deal (new). i know i was never getting the "greatest deal" per se but, i've always felt that the price was reasonable and i didn't have to wheel and deal.

should be interesting as i don't plan on babying this jeep. we'll see what we can do to it.... i mean, with it

as far as parts go, yeah, i might if it works out but we are picking up some more sponsors and we most likely be working with them and the parts they have as well.

Congrats! Dig the color. Did you consider a two-door at all for a second JK? In the future, will you and wol-ette be driving separately on trail runs now (his/hers)?
