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?

Nah. Can't be as effective as a pressure washer! (THEN YOU STILL have to clean the driveway!)

Looks pretty beefy. I do think I'd replace the bolt on the bracket welded to the frame. It's barely engaging the Nylock insert and needs at least 1/4 but 1/2 longer would be better. In addition I've had a some Nylocks fail on me; I'd replace the nut with a metal locking nut. It kind of looks like a Nylock but has some undersized threads at the end instead of Nylon (or whatever it is).

So has this last mod done the job?

This past weekend JKGaby and I installed ARB front deluxe bumper, rear bumper and T-Max 12,500 winch with Viking syn line with safety thimble and delrin rollers.

Man that winch looks like it has a cylinder head with spark plug wire going to it. It must pull like the devil.

Santa came early....

Just ordered by XRC10HD Winch, and my ARB accessories. Might get it in by and installed by the new year! Yeah!


So get this..... The shop I ordered from does not have this winch yet, so they were just going to send the XRC10 and charge me less without telling me! The old bait and switch it would seem. Man this ticks me off! Good thing I caught this while tracking so all they had to do is pull it off the UPS truck. So instead of installing my winch over my vacation I will be shopping for one and staying away from that retailer!
