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.

Well got out to test the 4wd. Worked pretty damn amazingly. This thing was stable as hell and also seemed to climb well even thought the rocks were slick as hell. Only got a few pics from others...no great ones today.












Also a quick shot of the juggy i was with



Also showed a new friend around alittle I met on this forum. Dont have any pics, but i think he had a blast!

well need to clean the jeep to work on it this weekend. Plan to fix my ram mount, and tie the body to frame. This is all of course if i dont get the urge to wheel...


Also got a cabin filter as this year range i have does not come with one from the factory, will probably put that in aswell. From all the dust and cutting grinding debris it hopefully will help the poof of dust turning on the defroster.

Wheelbase is 109" and the width from outside of front tires is 85"

Also no pics, but I have fixed my ram mount and it no longer barely hits my track bar mount...

Well installed a steering fluid cooler (Horrible Pics) WIll be adding a small skid to protect it, it only hangs down about a 1/2 inch.








Also went out to play after adjusting my ram mount. Now at full steering i ever so slightly rub on the control arms i moved. I am pretty sure i will be pushing the axle forward and inch and most likley running 1.5 spacers up front.
