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.

Be careful pushing things with that bumper, it will bend the framehorns- I've seen it firsthand on my own vehicle. I recently replaced it with a bumper that mounts to more than just the 8 bolts up front.

One nice thing about it is it has a small skid that you drill into the drop down cross member and tie into as well. Spreads the pressure out a little more. I think it'll be stout enough and if it's not I guess I'll be rebuilding the frame horns sometime. Thanks for the advice!

I'm not running a rear swaybar but in the pics the front is still connected. I was impressed for only being in a ditch. Still need about 1" bump stop extensions in the rear to keep the tire out of the fender.
