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.

[QUOTE=Renegade;147950]Sliders:


So you actually made these? If so, great work. How did you do it? How much did they cost?
Thanks

Yeah,

Then you need a torch, then a TIG, then a MIG, then a plasma cutter, then a tubing bender, then a... Hey, no wonder we'd like it so much, it's just like owning a JK!

Thanks. I bought the steel and made all but 2 of the cuts. I had a friend who is a fabricator guiding me (while he did other work), and he did the welding. It took me a long time to do it (he said I would never make any money as a fabricator), but the end result was worth it. I can't put a price on them due to the amount of help I had. They are 2x4x3/16" rectangular tubing and 1 1/2" x 1/8" round tubing. They are welded to the frame. Here's a pic from the top:

Evap canister protection. Its 3/16 and 1/4" Not sure if it will give it total protection or not, but I fiugure better than nothing.





And inside high lift mount. This is going to work out real nice. I can still lay the fredom top pannels on the deck there under the high lift.

Default 3/16" Fuel skid

3/16" plate for fuel tank protection. I used the current skid as a frame. Works well!!
