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.

Some long overdue pics of some of my mods... [ PIC HEAVY ]

Question though... what are you doing for the winch controls?
I was actually going disconnect the buttons from the handle and run them through the firewall then up the A-pillar where I could remount them. However, I found that I can pretty easily plug the controls into the servo box through the grate so never went through with it.

I added some LED side markers today that I bought off eBay.

I had to drill my new MCE fenders so I made sure to measure and recheck multiple times.

I then clipped the side marker connector and spliced the wires together with butt connectors. Note that the LED wires were very small so I stripped extra room at the end and then fold the wire over multiple times so it would fit snugly in the butt connector.

I made sure I had shrink tubing on the wires to protect the connection

Here are a couple more shots of the install.

I used some utility clips fro Radio Shack to hold the wire. Sadly they only had white when I was buying... Anyway, this is the test fit before I add more spiral wire protector tubing
