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.

D44 all buttoned up and almost ready to be installed. Just need to do some DIY wiring and i should be able to get it in this weekend.

The build is just about done (well the jeep fund is empty...)

Halfway through the axle swap. Hopefully I'll have more free time tomorrow.

Axle swap is done, locker engages, and no new noises on the test drive so I'm calling it a success

Sold the D30 today. Between the $600 I got for it and the $1200 I got for the stock Willys wheels and tires, I easily covered the D44 cost with $ to spare for the diff cover, gussets, & LCA skids. I'm calling it a win.

Also got in some fishin this am

Well, it's Anniversary Day. Bought 1 year ago today. The anniversary present (EVO Rockstars) didn't make it in time so had to settle for an oil change and tire rotation on the big day...

It was a great 1st year:

Well, ordered some wider flares as I failed inspections at 2 different garages last month. I ended up getting creative but don't really won't the hassle every year and if I ever get pulled over, it would be an issue that needs remedied immediately.

As I run full width bumpers, I decided to go with the Lund FX Flat Style Flares. They are 1" wider than stock and give 1.5" more inches of tire clearance. Since I couldn't find much info on them, I'll be sure to post up details once installed.

I'm also looking at the Lund Flares ..
Did you pull trigger on flares ...?
