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.

Where do you live? That would be perfectly street legal here (In California) if you put some mud flaps on it in back.

Looking good though!

well not wanting to deal with the electronics for the speedo abs, and esp. it looks like im going to put in some autometer gauges and a built vortec 5.7 gm engine with overdrive auto trans. and the motor will be a 10.5-1 with a good cam and will be making about 360-380 horse. and this whole motor swap should not go over 3500-4000. sounds a little better than the hemi. and i no longer will need to deal with all the electronics of this.

Looking good. With as much as you have done, I say ditch the 3.8L and drop a V8 in.
