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.

This is my #1 option right now for price and upgrade wise since TeraFlex hasnt released the rear kit.
TeraFlex Big Slotted Rotor Kit (13.3") $ 296.99 msrp + Road Race Motorsports Slotted Brake Kit Rear $229 msrp = $527

Teraflex 4303490 - TeraFlex Big Rotor Kit with Slotted Rotors for 07-14 Jeep® Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK - Quadratec

2007-2013 Jeep (JK) Off Road Race Slotted Brake Kit- Rear [Jeep (JK) RRM Slotted Kit- Rear] - $229.00 : Road Race Motorsports, Mitsubishi Suzuki Fiat Hyundia Performance Parts

And this Brake Master Cylinder same flow as TF one they sell for only $80 extra

Stock Rubi wheels x5 (52,000) with 285/70R17 Nitto Terra Grapplers x4 (8,000) will be going up for sale next month, if anyone is interested LMK obviously won't ship though. They are Plastidipped which peels off without damage if anything its protecting the wheel right now.

Nice build! I'm just down the road from you in Muscatine. I didn't read everything you have listed but if you're looking for ideas, I'm looking at a gun rack for rifles that mounts between the roll bars. I saw one online from Home Depot that holds two rifles. I'll find the link if you're interested.

I have a four door that I'm slowly building. I don't know a lot about automobiles so I've had DK 4wheeler over in Moline do my lift, then had 33's and new wheels put on at Discount Tire over on Elmore. Here's a link to the gun rack I'm looking at getting for my AR's when I go to the range.
Great Day Quick-Draw Overhead Gun Rack for UTV's with 35 in. - 42 in. Rollbar Depth-QD853OGR at The Home Depot
I don't know if they have it in stock in the Davenport store, or if it's an online order only. Plus I need to measure because it looks like they have different lengths.
Was going to order it today, along with the Barricade Rock Crawler bumper with winch plate, but my Jeep is acting up and I think I have a bad injector. So, off to the dealership in the morning. Putting the purchases on hold till I find out how much this problem is going to cost me.
