JK-Forum.com - The top destination for Jeep JK and JL Wrangler news, rumors, and discussion

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.

Buy it. Build it. Break it. Fix it. Repeat.. My '13 Gecko build; It will be slow...

Cool Buy it. Build it. Break it. Fix it. Repeat.. My '13 Gecko build; It will be slow...

This is my first JK but 4th Jeep.. I just couldn't stay away....

Picked it up about two weeks ago:

I scored this bumper off Craigslist yesterday for $100 (e-autogrilles):

Not a fan of the extra bars so I'm "editing" the bumper with the angle grinder:

Then Brandon (thanks for making the drive ) dropped our load of M100's yesterday so the build on the expedition trailers begins too:
