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.

I'm on a budget build also. Have 500 into my build. I keep wanting to sale my hard top but the boss puts her foot down on that one. It's either the hard top, no top or the jeep is gone.

I got my bumper for free, winch for free, and few parts that cost money. The winch was given to me by a customer of my bank that deals in used cars. A truck he bought had a hidden winch. And I went to visit it one day and I said I needed a winch. He brought it out. Set it on my bumper and said it looked good. I ask him how much. He said nothing.

But if I could sale the hard top it would free up other opportunities. But that will never happen. Here's a picture.
