Notices
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.

The picture is of the J8, not a JK, and they have a leaf spring because of added load capaicity.

I have driven a diesel J8 when I visited AEV a little over a year ago. You can tell that there are leaf springs because it rides firmer than stock, but it isn't rough or anything. I just don't know how many people would want to drive it with the back end empty on a realy rough road.

It is fiberglass . I like the look of the fenders ...not sure about the hood though with that mid-section.
Where can I see a picture of this hood?

I am new to Jeeps and off road mods. What's the purpose of those bumpers with the big bars sticking out. Looks like it could act as a skip should you need to slid up the edge of a drop off in order for to gain traction. Is that it or something else.
