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?

They were a little tough to install, but I think that would be true, regardless whose design I was using. My mitts are just a little large to get in some of those nooks and crannies. A couple of borked knuckles later though, I had the new latches installed and adjusted.

Way cool!

Just for reference mine were as hard as hell to get on also, I wanted locking ones bc the kids at my school kept opening my hood and playing around with crap

Those are nice looking too! I thought about locking latches, but it was hard for me to avoid the "cabled" look.

Of course, those cables are yet another place to catch a small limb, and drag it around the hood! :-)

Finished putting on my TrekTop NX. Took the white decals off and replaced them with black ones.

Installed Pavement Ends front bumper with Spyder fogs.

And I replaced my slightly corroded and worn spark plugs, wires and pcv.

Just finished my warn elite! Went well but didn't like the look in back of the winch. Looked unfinished so I modified the stock fill plate
