So, be sure to check Project-JK.com (http://www.project-jk.com) for updates or visit our photo gallery to see all the latest photos :cool:

[Rubimon]

We're all waiting with bells on!:D

[dhoffroad]

what nothing yet !!! you should be over there already gettin the "sneek peak" photos.....LOL.....

lookin forward to your coverage I wanted to go real bad but just could'nt make it happen......are you going to stick arround for the W.E. Rock event over the weekend ??

[wayoflife]

Sorry guys, we had to get our badges and then spent some time talking to Adam from Jeeperman. Need I say, this is the first chance I had to get behind my computer. Anyway, yes, I was able to take some pre-show pics and I will be posting all of them tonight but for now, here's a couple to hold you over...

[Piginajeep]

that bumper is the best one ive seen yet!

[Rubimon]

I agree! Lots of MUSCLE!

Make sure when you see some cool wheels and tires on these jeeps you get a good close up so we can read the info right off the tire. Also, get some good close ups of those bumpers too! Heck, get everything! Just pretend you are Hugh Hefners photographer and as you are moving around that Jeep say " That's it, work with me baby"! Snap away man, we can all stay up pretty late sifting through the globs of photos.

That is your mission. Should you decide to accept this mission......dant dant danant dant dant danant. You get the picture!

Remember, the more detail you get, the fewer questions we'll all have.

More pictures = more hits = more $$$$ in advertising!:ukliam2:

Have I got my point accross yet?:yup:

[dhoffroad]

sweet !! let the show begin......

[usgaone]

Anyway to find out who's stuff is what? Are the bumpers on the Silver Rubicon Express JK's Jeeperman's or there own? More specifically the front bumber.

looking good, but man, waiting til January for some protection is gonna suck! Don't these manufacturer's know that there are impatient idiots like me waiting to spend $$$$ on my new Rubicon......

[clifford901]

:confused: on the silver RE jeep the rear bumper has a winch mounted where the exhaust was is that going to be an option or is that just for show? I want one just like the pics!

[paroxysym]

wow. thats all i can really say. im glad they have found a place to relocate the exhaust too. the aftermarket on this thing is going to be insane. but after seeinng that, i realize how much i love seeing a plan jeep with little to no mods done- i get pleasure out of seeing them out on the trail out performing rigs 3 times their size and not having a care in the word. i think thats the approach ill be taking with mine, simple as a pimple yet very functional when i want it to be. i have yet to see a cb set-up in one of these.

the bumpers they are planning on are incredible, they look huge. huge lift, huge, tire, bulky bumpers, winches, etc... jeep should have made a rig with 8 mpg lol. i know you shouldnt buy a jeep for its mpg but when they improve on the mpg rating, i think thats something that should be maintained... ya know? or am i all alone in my thinking.

great pics though, thank you!

[Expedition One]

Ha, Ha! I must have been the only manufcature that didn't go. :mad: :D ...

Judging by the light ports in the bumper that silver one looks like a Fab-Fours bumper, but at the same time it reminds me of Road armors stuff. I talked with someone from Fab Fours about a year ago and asked him about there ports becuase , frankly I thought they were a pretty cool idea, He gave me the impression they were unique to his company, but I don't see there logo any were on the bumper and the rear bumper says Jeeperman. The front bars reminde me of jeeperman style :confused: so I guess we just need comformation..

[Piginajeep]

Ha, Ha! I must have been the only manufcature that didn't go. :mad: :D ....

Dont worry we like yours just as well!:D

[Expedition One]

So I'm guessing this is a stubi version of the silver one ????

the funny thing is I saw pictures of this when it was in burnsville and it had a warn bumper on it..:LOL:

[wayoflife]

Hey guys, I just wanted to let you know that I got some more pics up from yesterday. Also, I will try to categorize the pics by Jeep and to the best of my abilities, try to create a list of all the products that are on it.

I'm heading back to the show now and will try to check back soon and post more pics from the inside today :cool:

Funny indeed. When I took these shots yesterday, they were taking apart the flares so that they could install a set of Bushwackers too.

[Piginajeep]

All the pictures look great,

If you have a chance, can you take a couple pictures of where all these venders are running the exaust pipes?

I noticed on all off them the mufflers are gone.. the cross over pipe on the 2 door is in the worst place possible. Directly infront of the skid plate.

Good job Eddie, take a little break, get yourself a sandwhich, and then get back to it.:rolleyes:

[bLITZ]

Oh why did this thread have to start! All of these JK's look amazing (minus some bling rims)... It makes me want to disregard the logic of keeping my Renny...

[wayoflife]

Just wanted to let you know that I just uploaded a TON of pics from yesterday and a few teaser shots of what I'll be uploading later on today. For now, here's a shot to get you going...

The bumper in front of the gray Rubicon Express is awesome. They have manage to locate the fog lamp and add some place for an auxilary driving lamp for thoses back road where deer just wait to jump in front of you. And they are so deeply put that the protection again trail hit will make her work longer.:)

[JKwannabe]

either I'm crazy or I just saw a reverse mounted rear Tri link... WOW!!!

[wayoflife]

Nope, you ain't crazy and the setup Rancho came up with is by far the most creative :thumbs:

[Piginajeep]

I cant wait to see poison spyders!

[JKwannabe]

wouldnt that throw some weird geometry at the pinion and such when the axle is A) drooping or B) sagging (like when towing or going up a steep incline)?

Kinda seems like it would but at least on display, it works. I'd love to see how this thing performs on the trail.

[wayoflife]

Just wanted to let you all know that I've just added 188 new photos on Day 2 in the Project-JK photo gallery. :cool:

[wayoflife]

Just wanted to let you all know that another 60 pics have just been uploaded into the Day 2 Gallery :cool:

[jeepn0811]

There is a sweet dark red unlimited that you took some awesome pics of. Did you by chance get any specs on it? Great job on the SEMA coverage and pics!

Yes, I have specs on most of the JK's that were at the show and I'm currently working on reorganizing the photo gallery so that they are categorized by JK and I will also include all the specs that I am aware of for them. :)

[wayoflife]

I should mention that I added a few more pics that I missed earlier to Day 4 (http://project-jk.com/wp-gallery2.php?g2_itemId=4334) of the photo gallery. :cool:

im liking the sweet front driveline angle comin outta the transfer case!

[daddyo]

It looks as if it has two rigid links at the right rear (one facing forward and one facing toward
the rear). If so, how could the right rear travel up or down? I must not be seeing this correctly.

Please straighten me out.

Andrew

Okay, never mind. I got it. The rear link is a sway bar link.
