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.

I'm trying to remember - II think it was like $180 per wheel, but they also had to narrow them by 5\8 inch to fit the big brakes, so that was a lot more work...

This build is indeed an inspiration. I dont have the skills you do so I'll trust my jeep to MoTech when I get ready to do this swap.

Thx for the support. It is certainly an overwhelming task for one person with all i am trying to tackle at once but im taking it slow and steady and trying to do as much as possible while the cab is off to minimize the amount of time i would have to struggle to do this on the floor unded the assembled jeep.

If i was not also dojng a lift and axles, this jeep would be sitting in Motechs parking lot beside urs and have them do it! I agree with u completely.

I will say this for them however, Robbie at MoTech is very knowledgable and will work with u on the phone for as long as it takes to fix any issues u might have. I am impressed with his direct level of support when i have needed it.

Not sure if I missed this or not in your earlier posts, but one thing I really wished I did when the tub was off mine was to bedline the interior floor.

This was one of my first mods. I removed all interior and got that glue crap off of the floorboards and had a shop spray hot apply bedliner(its called speedliner)
I now run without carpet and it is so easy to wash out the floors and seats. It looks fantastic!

Its been slow going with the texas heat and my non air conditioned shop.

I have swapped transfer cases last weekend with CrazyCodyK. The rubi case i had doesnt work on the chevy transmission output shaft but the jeep x model case will.

I have gotten all of the skid plates (except for gas tank skid) back from powdercoat. The gas tank skid i have is all beat to hell and i have been researching replacement options. The stock tank is around $500-600 and so are the aftermarket options. The stock skid is thinner metal but full coverage of the tank, the aftermarket solutions are 3/16 steel but only cover the bottom of tank, not the side near the driveshaft. Still debating this problem

Also working on evap relocation kit options. Was concidering making my own instead of buying a kit but without the body on the frame, not sure of my clearances. By relocating the evap, that is a very heavy skid plate i wont need anymore.

I will be working on it more this afternoon and will take some updated pics then and post them.
