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.

After making the decision to trade in my '07 X on a '09 Rubicon the deconstruction began. I spent last weekend putting my X back to it's stock form. A massive undertaking for sure. Last Thursday night and all day Friday were spent removing the lift, custom bumpers, custom skid plates, rock rails etc. etc. Saturday was trade in day and all went according to plan. Soon I was driving home in my brand spankin' new (3/9 build date) Sunburst Orange 2dr Rubicon eager to take the pile of parts I just removed and marry them back up to a JK.

Shots of my previously modified X...I can't bear to show you the pictures of what it looked like when I traded it in:




After a ton of work this weekend, I turned this:

There are still some minor things to put on but the big stuff is done. Needless to say, my ass was really dragging this morning. I think it was all worth it though.
