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.

What was done to your JK this week?

Default Mesh Grille Insert from eBay!

I got this from eBay for $46. Apparently someone cut the diamond shaped sheets of aluminum and packaged them with plastic tie thingys and fastners that stick to the inside of the grill after I cleaned it with alcohol. .. for $46, it beats me trying to figure it out how to make it...

Installed some Pilot PL203W fog lights in place of the factory junkers. Got em from Auto Zone for only $39. Holy s*%t these things are bright!!

Factory head lights (low beams):


With only the fog lights on with the Pilot PL203W installed:


This is both the Pilot's and the low beams, not even much of a difference turning the head lights on these fogs are so bright:

Cool thanks for the info. I'll see if I can find some.

I'm running 18's on both sides. If you need the actual part number to make your search easier, let me know...

[QUOTE="Battlefrog"]

I've heard that the winch needs to be mounted upside down with factory bumper/hidden. Is this correct ?[/QUOTE

That is correct. Mine is mounted upside down as well

I used the universal mounting plate from harbour freight. I had to do some minor fab work to it but nothing major. Here are some additional pics so you can see what I did.
