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.

Looks better. I see a aftermarket stubby with winch built in. In the future. I hate the stock bumper with a passion.

IMO looks great. Now you need to cut the fenders.

Love the look dude, what tire size and lift is that, next to come when i get my lift and tires is cutting my stock fenders, if i was to do that now my tire size will look wayyyyy to small. Same with mine, i didnt even cover up the ends just left em open, im gona be getting a new bumper anyways but it was one of those days where i was just aching to do something to my jeep haha...
