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 Suited and Booted

Put some 17" Method NV Race Rims with Nitto Terra Grappler G2 285 / 70 R17s to go with the Trektop Pro. Makes the old 2011 Rubi look new.

I think it is a great looking bumper for sure.

Do the LEDs connect to the existing jeep fog light Wiring? And are the LEDs very bright?

Looking good Ndog! Loving that Trektop Pro top and the black wheels set it off nicely!

Replaced the factory rear driveshaft that I dinged and tore the boot on during our Rubicon trip. The Adams 1310 couldn't be easier to install. The videos on their website were awesome aids. I recommend getting a cheap $20 puller set off of Ebay or from Harbor Tools as it make removing the factory flanges a breeze.

Looks good. Just bought the same Hard Rock, same color. Did your Tire shop have any issue mounting 12" wide tire to 7" wide stock rim? Discount tire has gotten very cautious about this and will only follow manufactures recommendations for rim width. I don't know anything about those AMP tires.

I love the way it looks! The LEDs don't connect to the factory harness, but I wanted them on a separate switch anyways! It came with a wiring harness that I connected and ran with a switch so I can turn them on whenever! They are bright, but not overbearing enough to never use. Eventually I'll put some pods and a light bar on!

Discount tire refused to do it. I had to go to a local tire shop down the street from my house. Cash talked on that deal. The tires look great on the stock rims and seem to fit just fine.

I've had 315/75r16 KM2's and MT Baja Claws on my stock 16" rims for about 7 years now combined. Both sets dropped to 8lbs of air when wheeling and have had no issues.

Installed Maximus-3 centered winch plate with my Smittybilt XRC and their fog bracket with KC gravity Amber fogs. Nothing left to do now but save for tire carrier, lift and wheels/tires.
