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.

Default Love the color

Did you put on a body lift? How much back spacing are you running?

More pix please. Maybe one from head on and a profile.

Looks good!

I like the look

Only one problem.... It doesnt look like youre able to turn the wheels without hitting the front bumper.
Stubby and flat flares FTW!

HAHAHAHAA....

Nothing gets by you guys. What happened was we ran out of time to install the spacers cause I had to pick up my daughter. So we removed the plastic stock stone guard and cut the corner seams in front of the rear tires. But yes the fronts rub the bumper. Not worried though cause The bumper(s) goes as soon as I can finalize a build. I know I will need to do sooner than later the long arm kit cause I can tell the ride is not as good now.

I will post more pics tomorrow after the pucks are installed.

Anybody have a rear tire carrier they can over night to me My Amex # is 3*** ****** *****

Not a fan of body lift. And yes the spacers are a temporary addition until I decide on 4" or 6" long arm teraflex kit. 40's or 38's. Like I talked about in other threads. I pretty much threw away brand new 33's with 1200 miles on them and picked up these 37's today and paid $1900 for a 2.5" coil lift and Fox shocks. Use the 2.5" plus pucks till I finalize the build. I am seriously thinking about the Bushwackers and having them painted on top to match the body.

All you need are stubby bumpers, flat fenders, and either the AEV geometry correction control arm kit or short arms/long arms.

Remember LCG is the way to go

Thanks racin....

I never imagined there were so many options for a Jeep. Jeep is in a world of its own. As you can tell, like many car guys, I jumped into this with out pre planning. But I will admit it is hard to see the final vision without seeing other JK's in person. Sorry to say I have no friends who own JK's.

Thanks again for your input.

Not so fast the Op has a 4dr.. I would do spacers over a body lift to actually give you an honest lift of the belly to keep from high centering, provided you will use this off road. x2 on the flat fenders as well.
