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.

It's certainly cheaper to buy a grinder and a can of Tremclad flat black

I'm no fabricator, but even I could manage to notch that puppy.

Yeah I was referring to cost of an aftermarket option vs. modifying the original. I agree that it is easily remedied - I have been meaning to take a look at mine.

funny thing is, i have worked on a lot of jk's that are autos and don't recall seeing this before. in fact, i'm pretty sure that 07's don't have it but, i will have to look through some of my old pics to verify this. anyway, being that we now have an auto, the first time i pulled our skid, i noticed this right away. in fact, my initial thought was, oh look, chrysler addressed the skid plate for drive shafts now - how cool. but then i realized that it was on the wrong side

maybe when they put the steering wheel on the other side over seas they flip the axle drop too ... then didn't flip the skid!

you know some douche at Chryco is pounding his head on the wall "i hope my boss doesn't notice, i hope my boss doesn't notice"
