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?

I like the look with it off myself. I'm going to do the same next time I break one of my rugged ridge flares.

Drove it to work since my daily (2014 Grand Cherokee Limited 4x4) is at the dealership for A/C issues at 8k miles. Don't mind driving it to/from work, but certainly not something I want to do every day. Love my JK, but it definitely doesn't drive like my WK2 and certainly doesn't have the audio quality, either. Gets lots more attention though.

Teraflex HD Hinge Carrier. Got tired of my tailgate rattling and seeing the 35 bounce around in the rear view. Hated dropping the cash, but definately worth it. This thing is solid. Thanks Northridge4x4 for the great deal and fast/free shipping!

I'm new to Jeeps and DIY auto work. What do these do for you?

Your jeep has bump stops between frame and axle to both prevent your shocks from bottoming out or allowing the tires to make contact with the tub. When you run a larger tire or a longer shock, you must extend your bump stops to keep things operating smoothly. Many people will use hockey pucks on the axle spring pads as bump stop extensions, but I chose to build my own that are adjustable to better suit my needs.

Cleaner her up real good. First time I took thefts out to vacuum it since I got it a few months ago. Rare for me. I usually vacuum once a week but when it's a jeep. Oh well
