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?

Had a busy weekend.

Removed Freedom top and installed Soft Top
Installed Huffy Security deck
Installed IPF head lights

All went well but this afternoon my navigation unit, bluetooth and HDD stopped working. They all worked after the install. Any ideals?

2 weeks ago I installed my Benchmark Design dual-battery carrier with a pair of yellow tops.
1 week ago I did an 11 qt + 2 filter oil change, moving over to the same Amsoil I use in my Vette to make things easier, and replacing the oil drain plug with a Fumoto Qwik Valve. (Yes, 11 qts + 2 filters is how much it takes when you accidentally leave the original filter seal on the chassis and end up with a mini-BP/Gulf disaster in your driveway.)
This weekend I put the sick goat under my hood our of misery, and installed the 400/500mhz PIAA horn pair.
What lift did you go with? In several weeks I am having Northridge install the AEV Premium 3 1/2" lift on my Ribicon two door 6 speed. I was curious if you did the same lift and how you like it. May I ask how much the drive shafts cost installed. At the moment I haven't addressed drive shafts because 99.9 % of my driving won't be off road.

First two times is always a pain. After you do it twice, you will be able to swap the two in 10-15 minutes!

Smile New Bumper

These are Pics of my new bumper I purchased. It was a blemished bumper because the Powder coating was scratched . Well I have a friend that owns a powder coating facility . He re-coated it for me in a flat black and it looks like new. Total cost bumper + shipping $150.00 powder coating $40.00, total $190.00 I'd say that isn't too bad of a deal. If anyone is interested in one of these bumpers I can link you to the eBay guy I bought it from . The good think about re-powder coating is it matches the rims because I had those powder coated at the same location as well. Oh and another pix of me man I got to start eating rite again I gained 15 pounds over the winter HA HA.

Installed an Rugged Ridge clinometer yesterday. Had to open it up and adjust it for mounting it overhead.

That is an awesome price. Do they offer rear bumpers? That's what I need and I have access to powder coating at work. I am interested in finding out more. I have some buddies that could be interested as well. Thanks for the info.
