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.

Default Started my 4 Door JK Build!

Hey guys, I've started my JK build. I'll be sure to post plenty of pics.

First off, I ordered all my stuff from Dave at Northridge, what a pleasure. That guy is nothing short of awesome. He gave me incredible service, advice & prices. I highly recommend that if you plan on building your jeep, or just need a few parts, call him first.
Below is what I ordered from Northridge on the 25th of last month.
Currie Rock Jock III Dana 60 rear w/5.38 & Arb lockers
Currie Rock Jock III Dana 60 front w/5.38 & Arb locker

Teraflex 6 inch Long arm lift

Mastercraft grab handles (front & back)

firestick CB antenna

JK LOD Signature Series SHORTY rear bumper with Tire Carrier, bolt in Halogen light kit , Bolt on trail rack, Bolt on 3rd Brake light. In Matt Black
*
Rugged Ridge JK XHD Short Base Front Bumper w/ winch mount

J.E. REEL JK 1350 Drive Shaft HD front and rear

4x 5100 series Billstein shocks

Superchips flashpac

I also ordered a Rubicrawler from Advanced Adaptors

I already have my tires sitting in my Garage, 5x *Irok radials 41x14.5R17

Everything should arrive mid June, Jeep should be on the road by last week of June.

I'm having a little trouble finding rims though, any thoughts or suggestions will be appreciated. I must have beadlocks, but Irok suggests a minimum of 12 inch wide rim, Im having trouble finding a 17x12 inch beadlock rim. I guess the minimum I would push it would be a 10 inch wide rim. I'll post pics of my tires next to stock jeep soon.*
Also, any suggestions on who to fit all this stuff on my jeep when it gets here would be appreciated too, I live in San Fernando Valley California (Los Angeles).

Cheers,

Aaron

since money doesnt seem to be an issue for you check out Walker Evans beadlocks for your wheels.

Very impressive! I am envious of your build... 17X10 are plenty wide for the 14.5/17 Iroks. My preference would be a 9 wide wheel.

Post pictures as you build. Are you doing all the work?
