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.

Default Smittybilt XRC Front bumber and other goodies

Got and installed my Smittybilt XRC front bumper, KC HiLights and Smittybilt XRC8 8k winch with synthetic rope and ARB D-rings, Mirror relocators and daystar dash panel. Now I'm waiting on the rear bumper and spacers 2' Rubicon Express BB so I can get the new tires on.
My 8yr old son bolted almost everything up for me. His small hands proved extremely beneficial and he is becoming quite the gear-head.

Nice I love the fact that you got your son involved!! They are never too young to start wrenching

Thanks, he's half the reason I like to start these projects. He always loves the father/son garage time and hopefully he will save some $ DIYing when he starts his own family.

Make sure you also buy the adapter, it's also on the site but sold separately

The antenna is $14.99, the adapter is $1.99

I thought it wouls be rubber before I bought it, but it's powder coated metal.

I cannot tell a difference in the reception. As far as the look, I love it.. I had modified the stock antenna at an angle, but this is much better.

It's going to be a good weekend for you!!
I'm getting the Duratracs 33 x 11.5! I wanted 35's but I do a good bit it towing and I can't talk myself into loosing the lifetime power trane warranty! Still bigger than stock!
Last week I installed my MBRP exhaust. This week tires and next week my Mopar Offroad winch bumper. That's what I call a good month!

Awesome news...as with you, I thought it would be all plastice with terrible reception. Thanks for the info . I definitely like the look of the stubbie

Big John,
what are you referring to about the warranty being voided with 35's but not 33's? please elaborate or point me to the section that talks to this.

TIA
