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?

Installed my River Raider Expedition snorkel. Loving it. Took about 7.5 hours workingby myself. Biggest pia's were thebattery tray relocate b/c of all my extra wiring and the fixation bolts for the tray - need a better approach rr. Directions were great, and it turned out fantastic. Now to relocate my slim lites from the windshield back down to thefront bumper withthe others. Didnt get to the evap skid... Next weekends project!

Looks great! It's the best looking snorkel on the market IMO. I have one on my Christmas list.

No the former owner did it.... But no there is no other reinforcement, and I only get a slight flex to it.... I've even tested them by jumping on em

In addition to the headlight bezels, I got those step put on and painted the trim pieces I wanted to.

Just changed a burned headlight bulb. Used the std Philips until I decide to go with HID or LED.
Autozone only carries that Silverstar thing that burns like candles (short life span). Had to search around and found the Philips on Car Quest.

Cool idea! I did something similar behind my Rusty's tramp stamp.
