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.

We will be adding alot more tie ins once we get the rest of our components that we need to build around in place. Alot of our case design in a basic form stems from the fact that we are running a windshield and needed to tie into the OEM mounts. What you are seeing above are the basics and there is alot more to come.

IMO I agree with him.. you guys need to take it through the dash...the front doesn't flow well at all. I'm also running a windshield and you don't need those top OEM mounts, the "L" brackets on the bottom of the windshield are plenty strong. Not to mention there is more strength being that it is one piece...here's what we started with

I agree w/ the last two posts. Not to mention . . . you are going to bang the crap out of your knees getting in and out of that rig. Just my opinion!

We will certainly take a look at it! Since we are keeping our windshield for racing applications it is a little different for sure!

x No Compromise Offroad x - We are following your build closely. That is a pretty cool build as well. Is that thing done yet?

We got some goodies in today!

Matt from West Texas Offroad sent us his Redneck Ram Hydro Assist Kit as well as ported our steering box and improved the pump!



We also got our custom front seats from Twisted Stitch. They look great!



Advanced Adapters said our Atlas 4 Speed was shipping out today! That is the last major piece to the puzzle and then this thing will start fliing together.

"The Victim" will really start coming together in the next few weeks!

We put the cage back in after paint. The floor of the rig is bed lined and ready for reassembly.



Go to go!
