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 Thread Resurrection!

Here's mine in its latest configuration. The pics are from last winter's global warming season. Tires are 33" KM2's. I'm not looking to do anything major in the near future. Maybe Plasti-Dipping the rims black or metallic grey. Eventually, I'll lose the light bar and go with a quad mount of Rigid Duallys on the A-pillars. Maybe. I'm also going to put Mopar splash guards on for the winter, front only, to offer a little protection from sand and salt blasting the rocker panels and doors. Other than that, I like it the way it is. I ran soft front doors over the summer and will add a set of soft rear doors next spring. Those were a great mod for ducking rainstorms with the doors off.

Hard top is now on for the winter. I'll get some other pics soon. Love the Steel Blue. To me, it is a classy color, like on an expensive business suit.

Yep. I've replaced almost everything under this jeep so far. Have to install all 8 MC arms and the rear drive shaft. Finished up the suspension swap tonight. Out with the rough country and in with the 3" synergy coils and OME shocks. Once I knock that out will be bumpers and sliders. Then have to decide on 37 or 35.

Am I pimping if I quote my own post from 5 years ago? I really miss this Jeep. I later went all out with 37s and all the related crap that goes with it. Hated it and then sold it. Bought my 2010 and swear I will never go bigger than 35's with it. Now that my 2010 is paid off, I'm starting to look at purchasing another two door with half doors and 33's to keep the Unlimited company.

I've had three JKU on 37" and every time I say never again but I always do. I'm sure this one will be on 37" as well.

Nice Jeep, BillyJack! Post up the pics when you get the Pintlers. I've been eyeing argent Pintlers for several years. I think they'd look amazing with Steel Blue.
